The chapter focuses on the creation of public policy analysis research groups in France from the end of the 19th century until the 1950s. It first shows the importance of an “administrative science”, which was never really institutionalized from an academic point of view, then proceeds to analyzing what kind of public policy thought was shaped through the “technocratic movement” during the interwar period. The latter movement brought together State engineers, high-ranking civil servants, trade unionists, and entrepreneurs who all focused on the importance of State reform. Finally, the chapter develops a genealogy of the French approach to public policy based on social sciences and sociology from the end of World War II until the 1950s.Less

This book is an English version of a successful text on public policy analysis originally written for policy practitioners in Switzerland and France. It presents a model for the analysis of public policy and includes examples of its application in everyday political-administrative situations. This English version introduces supplementary illustrations and examples from the United Kingdom. Structured and written accessibly for readers who may not have an academic background in the social sciences, this book applies key ideas from sociology, political science, administrative science, and law to develop an analytical framework that can be used to carry out empirical studies on different public policies.Less

Chapter 2 explores the work of Clark Kerr as a thinker and university leader. It examines the Inter-University Study of Labor Problems in Economic Development directed by Kerr, one of the largest organized research projects in American social science during the postwar years. This study proposed a new theory of industrialism that informed Kerr’s thinking about universities. The Inter-University Study provides a window into its most important institutional contexts: the Institute of Industrial Relations (IIR) at UC Berkeley and the Ford Foundation’s Program in Economic Development and Administration. The chapter describes Kerr’s promotion of ORUs—first at the IIR, which he directed for seven years, and then across the Berkeley campus once he became chancellor. It also shows how his immersion in the administrative science movement shaped his view of the university’s mission. The chapter uncovers the sources of key ideas Kerr set forth in The Uses of the University.Less

Over the last three decades, the field of antitrust law has grown increasingly prominent, and more than one hundred countries have enacted competition law statutes. As competition law expands to jurisdictions with very different economic, social, cultural, and institutional backgrounds, the debates over its usefulness have similarly evolved. This book, the first in a new series on global competition law, critically assesses the importance of competition law, its development and modern practice, and the global limits that have emerged. This volume will be a key resource to both scholars and practitioners interested in antitrust, competition law, economics, business strategy, and administrative sciences.Less
