Le phénomène de globalisation ainsi que les mutations économiques et politiques des dernières décennies ont vu émerger un nouveau type de diplomatie, porté par les entreprises sur un marché concurrentiel. La diplomatie d'entreprise est aujourd'hui incontournable et s'impose comme une nouvelle voie de relations entre les dirigeants économiques et les pouvoirs publics. Le poids des facteurs économiques et politiques dans l'évolution d'une entreprise est le résultat des négociations internationales. Néanmoins, dans ce cadre, les entreprises ont des responsabilités en ce qui concerne des questions relatives aux droits de l'homme et la situation des pays d'accueil. Dans quelle mesure les grandes entreprises contribuent-elles à l'élaboration de cette nouvelle diplomatie ? ; The phenomenon of globalization, in conjunction with the economic and political transformations of recent decades, has involved the emergence of a new form of diplomacy that is driven by businesses in competitive markets. Business diplomacy has become indispensable, and is now established as a new means for economic leaders and public authorities to interact and develop relations. The importance of political and economic factors in the growth of a corporation is the product of international negotiations.

To what extent can big business contribute to the development of this new diplomacy?

Finally, it mentions some methodological explorations and the limits of an internationally successful intellectual endeavor.

From the publication of the French translation of a book by Peter Winch, the article reverted to the tendency of political science and, more broadly, of social sciences to adopt the naturalist view that the phenomena they deal with existed independently from the point of view of the members of society involved in their production. In this sense, the opposing positions of Bruno Latour and Pierre Favre, published in RFSP issues 58 (4) and (5), are similar: they argue that it is possible to determine what is and is not political externally to specific practices. ; International audience Based on the French translation of a book by Peter Winch, this article reassesses the tendency in political science – and, more broadly, in the social sciences – to adopt the naturalistic view that the phenomena those sciences explore exist independently of the viewpoints of members of society involved in their production. In this sense, the contrasting positions taken by Bruno Latour and Pierre Favre, published in issues 58 (4) and (5) of the RFSP, turn out to be similar : both posit that what is and is not political can be determined without reference to specific practices. ; From the publication of the French translation of a book by Peter Winch, the article reverted to the tendency of political science and, more broadly, of social sciences to adopt the naturalist view that the phenomena they deal with existed independently from the point of view of the members of society involved in their production.
