- Gouvernement et action publique
This journal is defined by its subject – governmental activities taken in the broadest sense, the transformations of executive power and administrations, and the management of public action.
Aims and Scope
The issues of government and public action lie at the heart of contemporary political life and deserve to be the focus of an academic publication. The political situation created by governmental activities must be examined through various fundamental dimensions: legitimation, the use of coercion, electoral competition, the production of public policies and the creation of public assets, citizen participation, etc.
Gouvernement et Action Publique’s intellectual mission is to bring together and create interaction between disciplines that are highly autonomous today: analysis of public policy, sociology of the State, administrative science, public management, the social history of institutions, sociology of governmental knowledge and practices, analysis of politicians and the elite, political economics, comparative politics, sociology of social stratification and inequality, the study of social movements, sociology of science and technology, European studies, international relations, etc.
Deeply rooted in political science, the journal is resolutely turned towards other disciplines of the social sciences (sociology, history, economics). Designed as a forum for discussion, Gouvernement et action publique claims no affiliation with a specific school of thought, but rather desires to contribute to theoretical debates, methodological development, and the empirical collection of knowledge around a common subject: governmental action and effects.
Gouvernement et action publique is intended for an audience of Francophone readers and, more broadly, the international academic world. Articles are published in French or English.
This quarterly journal combines non-thematic and special issues. It welcomes scientific articles covering fields of research that are greatly diverse in both geography and subject. It publishes articles examining local, regional, national, European and international topics. It also contains a “Critical readings” section.
