Cet article analyse les constellations d'intérêts, les circulations d'experts et les va-et-vient entre le national et l'international qui ont présidé à l'écriture de plusieurs rapports clés sur le vieillissement élaborés par le Fonds monétaire international et la Banque mondiale durant la première moitié des années 1980. Cette cartographie démontre comment ces organisations multilatérales ont contribué à façonner une conception alarmiste du vieillissement et de son impact sur les systèmes de retraite afin de légitimer des réformes controversées de la sécurité sociale. De manière plus générale, cette étude de cas souligne les modalités d'action et de mobilisation de ces organisations internationales dans une période marquée par une profonde remise en cause de l'expansion de la sécurité sociale.

This edited volume provides a synthesis on the question of business attitudes towards and its influence over the development of the modern welfare state. It gathers leading scholars in the field to offer both in-depth historical country case studies and comparative chapters that discuss contemporary developments. Composed of six archive-based historical narratives of business' role in the development of social insurance programs in Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, and six comparative case studies, this volume also extends the study of business to policy fields that have hitherto received little attention in the literature, such as active labor market policies, educational policies, employment protection legislation, healthcare, private pension programs and work‐family policies. It illuminates why business groups have responded so very differently to demands for increased social protection against different labor market risks in different countries and over time. This text will be of key interest to students and scholars of comparative welfare, political science, sociology, social policy studies, comparative political economy and welfare history.

This book explores the history of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and its place within capitalist development. Since 1948, the OECD and its forerunner, the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) worked on almost every subject of interest to national governments ranging from economic growth to education (PISA rankings), statistics, to the environment. With varying success the OEEC/OECD thus played a key role as a warden of the West and of capitalist development. However, it has remained one of the least understood international organizations. Bringing together a number of case studies by scholars from around the world, this first source-based volume on the history of the OEEC/OECD in global governance offers not only a new understanding of the Organization's key areas of activities, but also its multiple relations to member states, other international organizations, and private networks. The volume thus critically re-examines postwar international history, most importantly decolonization and the Cold War, through the prism of one international organization in its various contexts.--
