“…For a banalised sociology of peacebuilding: Field, habitus, capitals Sociology of international relationswhich some consider as the epitome of the French IR (Cornut and Battistella 2013;Balzacq, Cornut, and Ramel 2017) 4 and which also echoes the 'sociological turn' in studies on peacebuilding and interventionhas the objective to go beyond theory-centred debates between classic IR paradigms. Like its proponents, we firmly consider international facts as social facts (Devin 2013).…”

This special issue, instead of questioning what effect peacebuilding interventions have on post-conflict societies, analyses what the ground of intervention does to peacebuilders. It demonstrates that everyday interactions on the ground shape the interveners and even the scope of their missions. We delineate how a political sociology approach might break away from binaries ('internationals/locals') and, instead, illuminate processes (of internationalization and localization). We intend to offer a political sociology of the 'intervention encounter', that is, to scrutinize the everyday interactions among peacebuilders and between peacebuilders and domestic actors, and to investigate effects of the ground on peacebuilding organizations, doctrines and decision-making processes, as well as on peacebuilders' trajectories, positions, professional practices and representations. In fine, we explore how peacebuilders' relations to the ground structure the socio-professional field of peacebuilding.

A Small Discipline, Scarce Publicity, and Compromised Outward Reach: The Advisory Roles of Political Scientists in France

The Advisory Roles of Political Scientists in Europe

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although it has been developing and come through processes of institutionalization since WWII, French political science remains a small and rather marginalized discipline in search for visibility. Several tendencies work against the performance of a decisive advisory role from its part, especially the presence of an already solid and wide-ranging internal, in-house (state) expertise, which is still considered by many as a strong national asset. Consequently, it makes it hard for political scientists, as external academic actors, to exist in the eyes of decision-makers and achieve relevance. Nonetheless, driven by favourable attitudes towards an advisory and public engagement and the presence of facilitating conditions, we show that French political science infrequently manages to move in the policy advisory system. This chapter notably finds that political scientists might individually or collectively benefit from a participatory turn shaping the operation of advisory systems, that some level of boundary work takes place in relation with public administration, and that think tanks and sub-national actors’ reinforcement has opened opportunities for advice-giving and advice circulation. A case study about an important project of reform of the parliament illustrates how involvements from French political scientists in public debates and advisory activities might unfold and translate into practice.
