Expertise économique et reconfigurations disciplinaires dans la décolonisation by Thomas Irace

“…This article offers one form of explanation through a discussion of archival practices: while standard sources for the history of development economics include the papers of individual researchers and the records of international organisations, I argue that more intensive use of archives coming from (post-)colonial European national bureaucracies would lead to a better understanding of the meaning of expertise in times of decolonisation, as well as of the emergence of development economics as a specific form of knowledge in these countries. As an illustration, I discuss the Mission d’assistance économique set up by the Ministry of Overseas France in 1955, whose 1958 spinoff – the private consultancy firm SEDES – remained one of the main French organisations sending economists to the Global South until the 1980s.…”
