International audience ; Le professeur Charles Merriam, président du département de political science de University of Chicago, passe 6 semaines à Paris en 1929 pour y étudier le paysage des sciences sociales, afin de préparer le développement local du programme de sciences sociales de la Rockefeller Foundation. Son rapport, ici publié, est un point de vue sur le paysage des science sociales françaises des années 1920. Cet article propose d'explorer les conditions de cette prise de vue, en revenant sur les différentes dimensions de l'agenda du professeur Merriam. Le voyageur universitaire s'y rèvèle agile, poursuivant des objectifs multiples qui informent sa perception du paysage et sa cristallisation finale. Son rapport, plus qu'un simple témoignage, est une trace des forces, des contraintes et des possibilités ouvertes dans l'espace des sciences sociales et humaines par la mise en palce de programmes transnationaux de recherche et d'enseignement, sous l'égide des grandes fondations philanthropiques états-uniennes. ––––– Paris in the springtime : exploring the social sciences scene in 1929 Professor Charles Merriam, then Chair of the University of Chicago Political Science department, spent 6 weeks in Paris in 1929. His travel chore was to assess the state of the social sciences in the French capital, in order to install the social sciences program of the Rockefeller Foundation in France. His report, that is published herewith, offers a point of view on French social sciences in the 1920s. This article explores the conditions of this assessment, and peels off the different dimensions of Merriam's agenda. The academic traveler appears a versatile creature whose pursuits are many, all which shape his perception of the parisian landscape. Accordingy, his report is more than a mere evidence or account of that scene. It is a remnant of the forces, constraints and possibilities that the establihsment of transnational private research and teaching policies opened for all the protagonists of the developing social sciences.

In this introduction we will first elaborate on why municipal employees and services is a relevant and revealing theme in urban history, and then go on to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of existing scholarship. With particular reference to the contributions to this book, we will consider the consolidation of civic expansionism from the mid-nineteenth century. Next, we will examine the complex relationships that emerged between the executive and administrative spheres of local government, the changing role of central government and employees' responses to the needs and directives of the often highly politicized municipal power-base. Finally, we will look to further research approaches to open out this important, yet under-rated aspect of urban history.

Globalisation, the buzzword of the late twentieth century, calls for the attention of historians. As others have already suggested, one way to contribute to the historicisation of the phenomena encapsulated in this idiom is to pay attention to connections over long periods. Connections between municipal governments and exchanges about the subject have both been neglected by historical scholarship for various reasons, but they can contribute to the history of the 'construction of the universal'. Indeed, the information systems of municipal connections – their vectors, actors and structures – have defined, intersected with, nourished or undergone a series of would-be universalist 'transboundary formations'. These formations are shifting combinations of values, collective actions, practices, rules, organisations and individuals, all of which are advanced as possible futures for mankind. By examining some of these discourses of 'social order' and 'world order' and the way in which they combine with municipal connections, this article attempts to produce the 'municipal contribution' announced in its title.
