چکیده
ما در این مکتوب کوشیده ایم بر سیر تحول مطالعات سیاست گذاری عمومی در فرانسه پرتو افکنیم. متخصصان علم سیاست در دهه 1980 در فرانسه به اهمیت این علم نوبنیاد پی بردند و مترصد شدند رشته ای را که در دهه 1950 در ایالات متحده آمریکا ذیل توجهات هارلد لاسول پدید آمده بود در کشور خویش بشناسانند و البته توسعه دهند. هدف از این پژوهش نشان دادن نحوه ورود شاخه ای از علم به فرانسه و شیوه تعامل دانشمندان علم سیاست با آن بوده است. روش در این نوشته اساسا معطوف به سنتز و در جاهایی فراسنتز است و یافته پژوهش این است که علم سیاست در فرانسه اگر چه نظیر ایالات متحده آمریکا مطالعات سیاست گذاری عمومی را ذیل علم سیاست مندرج نمود و در جاهایی عینا همان روش های اقدامی را به کار بست که آمریکاییان برگزیده بودند، اما، به تدریج راه خود را گشود و مجموعه ای از مفاهیم، نظریات، روش ها، رهیافت ها و پرابلماتیک ها را ایجاد نمود تا علم سیاست گذاری عمومی جنبه وارداتی نیابد و خود را با محیط کاربرد انطباق دهد و البته درس هایی برای دیگر کشورها از جمله کشور پیشرو پیش رو گذارد. نگارنده معتقد است که این روش تعامل با علوم مدرن و جدید، سلوکی مناسب است و پرده برداشتن از آن برای حاملان علم و دانش در ایران می تواند پُرروشنگر باشد.Evolution of Public Policy Studies in France
The purpose of this contribution is to shed light on the evolution of public policy studies in France. It should be noted that this discipline was born in the United States in the 1950s mainly based on the works of Harold Lasswell who is known as the founding father of the discipline. Lasswell and his collaborators aimed to study the actions of the State to then be able to help decision-makers act more effectively and of course more democratically. It was in the 1980s that this discipline entered the scientific field in France. We believe that four steps are distinguishable in this regard.1- The attempts of synthesis aimed at bringing and knowing the discipline in France. The works of Madeleine Grawitz and Jean Leca, Yves Mény and Jean-Claude Thoenig, and Patrick Hassenteufel are notable in this regard. They brilliantly managed to clarify the foundations of the discipline and the research carried out in the United States and France in its frameworks. They were convinced that this new branch of political science would help to better understand the logic of public action, which would logically lead to its improvement.2- The multiple works carried out since the 1980s were inspired by the sociology of organizations. Michel Crozier and Erhard Friedberg have particularly prepared a fruitful ground for public policy researchers to access epistemological, theoretical, and methodical tools to analyze French public policies. Of course, the sociology of organizations reveals its American inspirations, and the specialists of the Center for the Sociology of Organizations have not hidden it. The sociology of organizations emphasizes the theoretical values of some concepts such as actor, system, power, areas of uncertainty, and rationality of actors, which show a convincing capacity in the analysis of the strategies of the actors within the organizations and in the analysis of the organizations themselves which are the main frameworks of action in modern societies.3- Research leading to cognitive analysis of public policies in France. Here, we should emphasize the founding works of Pierre Muller and Bruno Jobert. The elaboration of concepts such as representation, mediator, and référentiel in their analyses has opened very useful routes for future researchers to know the logic of public policies in France and the possible means of their change, especially since the 1990s. These researches show a certain utility in the analysis of some major turning points in French politics, among which the neoliberal turn made under the presidency of François Mitterrand, however socialist and attached to left-wing values.4- A new direction of research is known by the studies and analyses of researchers such as Gérard Noiriel, Renaud Payre, and Gilles Pollet. They are at the origin of a new approach in the study of social phenomena and actions of public authorities. Gérard Noiriel in a part of his works gives an overview of an approach that is known as the socio-historical approach. Renaud Payre and Gilles Pollet are among the leading researchers who apply this approach in the field of public policy and the actions of public authorities. They reveal the sociological and historical foundations of policies and actions and show precisely how socio-history differs from historical sociology or sociological history. In the field of analysis of public action, socio-history provides useful tools for researchers to deepen their knowledge in areas such as the emergence of new social categories (unemployed, immigrants, etc.), the transfer of knowledge and experience from one country to another, and the establishment of regional entities such as the European Union.In conclusion, we note that we had, throughout the writing of this article, an implicit objective in our mind: Clarifying the efforts made over the decades in France to be able to import a discipline that has proven its innovative abilities in its original cradle. Public policies are now part of the integrated disciplines in Iranian universities and it is of course necessary to know how the scientists of a developed country attached to its independence and originality, France, have worked at the entrance of a new scientific discipline created outside their country to be able to benefit from it for their development and be at the origin of its development in turn. We hope that Iranian academics and scientists will follow the example of their French colleagues, which appears fully promising.
