  Making children?

  Human procreation and family planning and the challenge of the evolution in values in the 20th century

  Aidé par les progrès technologiques et médicaux accomplis au cours du XX^e siècle dans le domaine de la contraception, de l’avortement, de la stérilisation et de l’aide médicale à la procréation, l’homme (et, de plus en plus, la femme) des sociétés occidentales s’est progressivement approprié la maîtrise de sa fécondité. Cependant, cette appropriation ne s’est pas déroulée sans heurts. Ainsi, la question de savoir par qui, quand, en quel nombre, dans quelles conditions, dans quel but mettre des enfants au monde, et même si on devrait le faire, a fait l’objet de réflexions individuelles et de conflits sociaux et a pu recevoir, au cours des décennies, des réponses fort différentes.

  Acting managers in public policy networks

  New practices and solutions under the pressure of budget cuts and performance expectations

  Our Seminar renews its interest for the skills, practices and tools of the public manager, this time in the context of public policy networks. Public managers today invest in networked activities: they must show political and strategic acumen, balance responsibilities and performances, negotiate resources, modernize their work and coordination tools, and rationalize activities under budget constraints. The lasting economic and budget crises call us to enhance and renew our knowledge in these areas. This may be achieved through empirical studies and dialogue between public officials and researchers.
