ArgumentaireLe 18e colloque international de l&#8217;Association Charles Gide se tiendra &#224; l&#8217;universit&#233; de Lausanne les 10, 11 et 12 septembre 2020. Cette manifestation organis&#233;e par le centre Walras Pareto d&#8217;&#233;tudes interdisciplinaires de la pens&#233;e &#233;conomique et politique (CWP) portera sur le th&#232;me &#171;&#160;Coop&#233;ration(s)&#160;&#187;.Coop&#233;rer, c&#8217;est-&#224;-dire &#171;&#160;faire quelque chose conjointement avec quelqu&#8217;un&#160;&#187;&#160;: l&#8217;id&#233;e a &#233;t&#233; explor&#233;e avant le XIXe si&#232;cle pour penser, entre autres, le fonctionnement &#233;conomique et politique des soci&#233;t&#233;s. Elle s&#8217;est cristallis&#233;e dans les ann&#233;es 1820 sur un ensemble de significations convergentes&#160;: dans le sillage de Robert Owen, elle a d&#8217;abord d&#233;sign&#233; en particulier une forme d&#8217;organisation de l&#8217;&#233;conomie fond&#233;e sur des &#171;&#160;coop&#233;ratives&#160;&#187; et adoss&#233;e au projet d&#8217;une prise de d&#233;cision partag&#233;e et d&#8217;une meilleure redistribution des richesses produites. Au cours de ces deux cents derni&#232;res ann&#233;es de nombreux auteurs &#8211; par exemple autour de l&#8217;avocat du &#171;&#160;coop&#233;ratisme&#160;&#187; Charles Gide (Devillers, 1998) et de l&#8217;&#201;cole de N&#238;mes &#8211; l&#8217;ont plac&#233;e au c&#339;ur de leurs recherches. Elle a donn&#233; lieu &#224; un nombre remarquable de mises en &#339;uvre &#8211; de The Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers jusqu&#8217;&#224; The Preston Model, pour s&#8217;en tenir au cas britannique.La signification de la coop&#233;ration, li&#233;e par exemple aux questions de r&#233;ciprocit&#233; et d&#8217;&#233;change, oscille entre des p&#244;les distincts. Ce &#171;&#160;Third sector&#160;&#187; (Hilson et al., 2017) cultive ses sp&#233;cificit&#233;s vis-&#224;-vis du lib&#233;ralisme, du capitalisme, du socialisme &#8211; sans que les fronti&#232;res soient clairement &#233;tablies pour autant (sur les proximit&#233;s entre capitalisme et coop&#233;ration, voir en particulier Marx, 1867, I, 11). La coop&#233;ration, voisine de l&#8217;associationnisme et du mutualisme sans se confondre avec eux, f&#233;conde les th&#233;ories des communs (Ostrom 1990) ou encore les r&#233;flexions sur l&#8217;&#233;conomie sociale et solidaire. Entre transactions individuelles et intervention publique, elle est aussi une forme de coordination entre les agents non seulement &#233;conomiques mais aussi politiques et sociaux.Le mot et la notion ont &#233;volu&#233; et charpentent certaines th&#233;ories &#233;conomiques actuelles. Ils peuvent &#234;tre mobilis&#233;s en th&#233;orie des jeux pour rendre compte de l&#8217;existence de certaines formes d&#8217;organisation sociale (depuis Von Neuman et Morgenstern, 1944), par exemple pour &#233;clairer les conditions de stabilit&#233; des d&#8217;institutions sociales fond&#233;es sur la logique des participants.Il importe d&#8217;&#233;tudier au croisement des champs disciplinaires ses assises th&#233;oriques, ses variations de signification, les d&#233;bats qu&#8217;elle a suscit&#233;s dans le champ de la pens&#233;e &#233;conomique et ailleurs, ses traductions concr&#232;tes dans le temps et dans l&#8217;espace (Desroche 1976). Quelques questions peuvent aider &#224; orienter la r&#233;flexion.Comment ont &#233;t&#233; th&#233;oris&#233;es et instaur&#233;es des institutions destin&#233;es &#224; mettre en &#339;uvre coop&#233;ration et coordination en soci&#233;t&#233;&#160;?Jusqu&#8217;&#224; quel point l&#8217;histoire de la pens&#233;e &#233;claire-t-elle sur les raisons pour lesquelles individus et groupes coop&#232;rent&#160;?&#160;La coop&#233;ration est-elle plut&#244;t le fruit d&#8217;une volont&#233; politique de transformation de la soci&#233;t&#233; ou, plus prosa&#239;quement, une bonne m&#233;thode pour conduire au mieux ses affaires (Hilson 2018)&#160;?&#192; noterComme les ann&#233;es pass&#233;es, ce colloque Gide accueillera &#233;galement des communications portant sur l&#8217;ensemble des th&#232;mes relevant de l&#8217;histoire de la pens&#233;e et de la philosophie &#233;conomique.Les propositions des doctorant.e.s sont encourag&#233;es&#160;; des ateliers pratiques de recherche et des sessions utiles &#224; la poursuite de leur carri&#232;re seront organis&#233;s &#224; leur intention.Soumission des propositions1e janvier &#8211; 15 mars 2020&#224; l'adresse du colloque : gide2020@unil.chComit&#233; local d'organisation (CWP)Fran&#231;ois Allisson,Roberto Baranzini,Thomas Bouchet,Rapha&#235;l F&#232;vre,Marius Kuster,Justine Loulergue,Harro Maas,David Sarech.Comit&#233; scientifiqueLes membres du Comit&#233; local d&#8217;organisation ainsi queMichele Bee (Lausanne &#8211; Belo Horizonte), Cl&#233;o Chassonnery-Za&#239;gouche (Cambridge),Till D&#252;ppe (Montr&#233;al),Ludovic Frobert (Lyon),St&#233;phane Gacon (Dijon),Mary Hilson (Aarhus),Alexandra Hyard (Lille),Sylvie Rivot (Strasbourg),Christophe Salvat (Aix-en-Provence),Sophie Swaton (Lausanne).Travaux cit&#233;sDevillers Patrice, &#171;&#160;Le coop&#233;ratisme de Charles Gide&#160;&#187;, RECMA, 269, 1998.Desroche Henri, Le projet coop&#233;ratif&#160;: son utopie et sa pratique&#160;: ses appareils et ses r&#233;seaux, ses esp&#233;rances et ses d&#233;convenues, Paris, &#201;d. ouvri&#232;res, 1976.&#160;Hilson Mary, The International Co-operative Alliance and the consumer co-operative movement in northern Europe, c. 1860-1939, Manchester, MUP, 2018.&#160;Hilson Mary, Neunsinger Silke, Patmore Greg (dir.), A Global History of Consumer Co-operation since 1850.

The theme of the conference will be on &#8216;Co-operation&#8217;.&#8216;Co-operation&#8217;, i.e. &#8216;acting hand-in-hand with someone else&#8217; has been, for centuries, central to the way economic and political societies operate. The question of co-operation arises in the 1820s in a number of important and converging ways: in Robert Owen&#8217;s shadow it was understood as a way of organizing the economy in such a way that it was rooted in co-operative societies, which were constituted on the basis of collective decision making and an equitable distribution of wealth. From the 1820s onward, many thinkers who were influenced by Charles Gide&#8217;s &#8216;co-operativism&#8217; (Devillers, 1998) and the N&#238;mes School considered the idea of co-operation to be at the centre of their reflections. This gave birth to numerous social and economic experiments. In the British case, these ranged from the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers to the Preston Model.The topic of co-operation raises many questions, especially, for example, in relation to reciprocity and exchange, oscillates between distinct poles. As a &#8216;Third Sector&#8217; (Hilson et al., 2017) it differs explicitly from capitalism, liberalism, and socialism. But the boundaries between co-operation and other political ideologies are far from being clearly demarcated &#8211; see Marx (1867) for a discussion on the relation between capitalism and co-operation. In a broad constellation of concepts, co-operation can be situated next to &#8216;associationism&#8217; and &#8216;mutualism&#8217;, and gave rise to a Theory of Commons (Ostrom, 1990), as well as a social-economy of solidarity. Situated between the spheres of individual actions and transactions and state intervention, it co-ordinates and orientates actors in the political and social spheres.A number of economic theories today have developed out of the concept of co-operation. It can be deployed in game theory in order to account for modes of social organization (Von Neuman and Morgenstern, 1944, continued), shedding light on how social institutions, which are emerge out of competing private interests, might be made stable.It is therefore worth studying co-operation&#8217;s theoretical foundations, its changing, and many meanings, the debates it has generated in the field of economic, social, political, and philosophical thought, and its numerous historical forms (Desroche, 1976).Some of the issues raised by co-operation in various fields may provide for fruitful avenues of reflection:How were social institutions designed to achieve co-operation and co-ordination theorised and established?To what extent does the history of thought shed light on the reasons underlying individual and group co-operation?Is co-operation the result of a political will to transform society, or, is it, more prosaically, a good way to do business?Please note:As in previous years, this Gide conference will also host papers on all topics related to the history of economic thought and philosophy of economics.Proposals by doctoral students are highly encouraged as practical research workshops and sessions useful for the pursuit of their careers will be organised for the conference.Submission guidelinesSubmission of abstracts : 1 January &#8211; 15 Mars 2020.Contact : gide2020@unil.chLocal Committee (CWP)Fran&#231;ois Allisson,Roberto Baranzini,Thomas Bouchet,Rapha&#235;l F&#232;vre,Marius Kuster,Justine Loulergue,Harro Maas,David Sarech.Scientific Committeethe members of the Local Committee andMichele Bee (Lausanne &#8211; Belo Horizonte),Cl&#233;o Chassonnery-Za&#239;gouche (Cambridge),Till D&#252;ppe (Montr&#233;al),Ludovic Frobert (Lyon),St&#233;phane Gacon (Dijon),Mary Hilson (Aarhus),Alexandra Hyard (Lille),Sylvie Rivot (Strasbourg),Christophe Salvat (Aix-en-Provence),Sophie Swaton (Lausanne).Bibliography&#160;Devillers Patrice, &#171;&#160;Le coop&#233;ratisme de Charles Gide&#160;&#187;, RECMA, 269, 1998.Desroche Henri, Le projet coop&#233;ratif&#160;: son utopie et sa pratique&#160;: ses appareils et ses r&#233;seaux, ses esp&#233;rances et ses d&#233;convenues, Paris, &#201;d. ouvri&#232;res, 1976.Hilson Mary, The International Co-operative Alliance and the consumer co-operative movement in northern Europe, c. 1860-1939, Manchester, MUP, 2018.&#160;Hilson Mary, Neunsinger Silke, Patmore Greg (dir.), A Global History of Consumer Co-operation since 1850.
