A multi-disciplinary collection, Gouvernement en question(s) welcomes works which question political power in various guises. It explores the thinking, theories and knowledge which form the basis of the principles of political organisation. It also invites analysis of practices, methods and expertise put in motion by governments. Finally, it undertakes to study the claims, objections and disputes levelled at them. This collection also accepts translations and thereby aims to encourage discussion on perspectives and varied approaches, whether they come under political science, history, sociology, philosophy or economic science.
