  Pervasive powers

  Corporate authority in the shaping of public policy

  The power of corporate business has been a subject of intense debate and many social science studies since the 19^th century. This conference is based on the idea that, not only has this power varied among industries, countries and different periods, but also that the way in which it is wielded has evolved over time. By bringing together scholars from various backgrounds within the fields of history, sociology, and political science, we intend to provide new insights on the multiplicity, depth and limits of the forms of influence that corporations, or the organizations furthering their interests – business associations, think tanks, communication or public relations agencies, foundations, etc. –, have on public policy.

  Norms: construction and deconstruction

  Cette journée est la première d’une série dont l’objectif est de réunir et faire interagir des chercheurs et des professionnels de différents horizons travaillant sur les effets sur la santé des travailleurs agricoles des pesticides auxquels ils peuvent être exposés. Cette première journée est construite autour de la thématique des « normes ». Nous proposons d’interroger les normes juridiques, les normes techniques et les normes sociales à l’œuvre dans la gestion des effets des pesticides sur la santé des travailleurs agricoles. Il s’agit tout à la fois de regarder comment ces normes sont construites et mises œuvre et de déconstruire les discours et les logiques qui les portent.
