Et si ces JE et si ce NOUS n'étaient en dernière analyse que des ON ?

Va-t-on fusionner les deux commémorations ? Faut-il encore célébrer batailles, victoires et justes causes ? Ou plutôt déplorer les dizaines de millions de victimes de ces événements ? Plaidoyer pour l'idéal démocratique de dignité, d'égalité et de respect de la personne humaine : une réplique de l'universel à la totalité.

Un pays ne peut affronter l'avenir s'il ne sait plus raconter son passé. En Chine comme en Europe, le grand récit demeure un vecteur de puissance. Reste à relever le défi de la complexité pour échapper aux identités supposées éternelles.

The International Institute for Public Administration (IIAP) (December 2 1966 -January 10 2002)

The article traces the history of the International Institute for Public Administration (Institut international d'administration publique) from its colonial roots to its recent merger with the ENA. The creation of the Institute in 1966 reflected the Gaullist determination to build a world that would be govemed democratically by States with equal voting rights, exercising their freedom as sovereign nations. An instrument of French diplomacy, the IIAP combined a vision of the future with an all-important tradition of training professionals for service in French-speaking countries abroad. As a centre for advanced study answering to a very real need, it left its mark on thousands of civil servants. In 1981 at the request of local partners, the IIAP took a step in another direction with the setting up of a more diversified curriculum with a strong emphasis on economies. During this same period it entered a competitive market, and thanks to the events of 1989, was able to establish cooperative ties with Central and Eastem Europe. The competition which then existed between the IIPA's activities and those of ENA gave rise to the idea of a merger, which became a reality only some years later.
