This study addresses the incompatibility question between the corporate organization of industry and a system based on the general recognition of economic rights and freedoms in Continental Western Europe. A dissociation/identification model based on a comparative analysis verifies the consistency of the premise that makes the emergence of economic rights only possible after suppressing the corporations of trades. The model stems coherently from the ideas of eighteenth-century political economists and crystallizes in reform policies aimed at eliminating corporate elements contrary to economic freedoms. The results directly link the intellectual model and the actual expressions of economic rights within the declarations written at the end of the old regime. While dissociation creates an opportunity for corporate continuity within a framework of recognized economic freedoms, the French identification model implies the suppression of corporations.
Le modèle social européen (MSE) est un concept plutôt vague, généralement utilisé pour définir une certaine combinaison entre préoccupations sociales et la nécessité d’amélioration et d’efficacité économique. Ce manque de précision implique une conceptualisation faible, ce qui en conséquence influence la perception de la conjoncture socio-économique actuelle et l’intégration européenne. Cet article vise à identifier des contenus spécifiques de conceptualisation du modèle européen, que l’on trouve dans un certain nombre de principes ou des valeurs communes contenues dans les constitutions européennes. Il vise également à explorer la dynamique entre les éléments de protection libérale et sociale qui constituent un point de départ commun pour une évaluation comparée. On trouve en particulier un processus de convergence des principes constitutionnels, sur base de la migration constitutionnelle de certains concepts à différents moments de l’histoire. L’induction de catégories communes à partir de ces concepts permet de prendre en compte de potentiels dénominateurs communs européens, tels que la dualité entre un marché libre et ses limitations liées à des questions sociales.
