“…Key questions regarding the role, the beneficiaries (in terms of organizations and activities) and the impact of the airport policy instruments, as well as the international trends in the airport industry, were asked. Actors' words allowed me to deconstruct a monolithic and monopolistic airport policy into its various components, while giving empirical evidence supporting the analysis (Bongrand and Laborier 2005). Other material was also collected, including published documents (annual reports, government and agencies publications, etc.)…”

Clear Skies or Ongoing Turbulence? Canadian Airport Policy between Airport Operators, Airlines, and the Federal Government

Using the case of Canada's airport policy, this dissertation seeks to give an account of longlasting conflicts between key actors of a policy sector who otherwise do not challenge the core policies and orientations of their sector and share the same core representations. The argument of this dissertation offers a response to the paradoxical outcome where a long-lasting policy has remained stable over time, despite engendering momentous conflicts and tensions between actors (to the point of threatening the stability of the policy sector) and being attacked by virtually all actors. This objective is sought by analyzing the Canadian airport sector and its four main platforms: Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary. The Canadian airport sector is highly puzzling, since long-lasting conflicts over the airport rent, the access to airport infrastructure and the funding and administration of airport screening have polluted the relations between the key stakeholders for years, while none of the key actors involved has challenged the main policy orientations and policy instruments used to regulate the sector. The study of the Canadian airport sector with a refocused and amended cognitive analysis of public policy framework developed by Muller and Jobert is really fruitful: it results in a comprehensive analysis of the conflicts, their nature, the possible ways to solve them, and it also considerably expands the explanatory power of the cognitive analysis of public policy. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my PhD supervisor, Dr. Patrik Marier, for his continuous support, availability and guidance during the successive stages of the PhD programme. Your supervision has been a critical success factor in my journey at Concordia, and I appreciate that you accepted to oversee my PhD studies. My sincere thanks also go to Dr.

“…It may also mislead the observer by lessening the effects of harmonization after the event and give too much value to the weight of ideas (Bongrand and Laborier, 2005). Furthermore, the researcher has to face chronological approximations and time gaps in the interviewees' responses, which make it difficult to reconstruct the reform process in an accurate way.…”

Palgrave Macmillan is delighted to announce the launch of a new book series dedicated to producing cutting-edge titles in Research Methods. While political science currently tends to import methods developed in neighbouring disciplines, the series contributes to developing a methodological apparatus focusing on those methods which are appropriate in dealing with the specific research problems of the discipline.The series provides students and scholars with state-of-the-art scholarship on methodology, methods and techniques. It comprises innovative and intellectually rigorous monographs and edited collections which bridge schools of thought and cross the boundaries of conventional approaches. The series covers both empirical-analytical and interpretive approaches, micro and macro studies, and quantitative and qualitative methods.

“…En tant que science sociale, l'analyse de l'action publique peut pourtant faire flèche épistémologique de tout bois méthodologique. Comme le soulignent P. Bongrand et P. Laborier (2005), un travail aussi ancien que celui de Peter Blau (1955) avait ainsi recours à une palette d'outils diversifiés, allant de l'observation directe aux statistiques en passant par les entretiens. Or, poursuivent les auteurs, les études françaises des années 1990 sont beaucoup moins riches : l'observation n'est quasiment pas pratiquée alors même que des occasions propices s'offrent ; les entretiens sont utilisés la plupart du temps sur un mode restrictif, celui de la collecte rétrospective d'informations, qui repose sur la fragile hypothèse de l'homologie entre discours et pratiques des acteurs.…”

“…Dans ces conditions, une approche ne serait-ce que sociologique y a longtemps fait figure de curiosité exotique. En France, une méthode telle que l'entretien est demeurée restreinte dans ses modalités d'utilisation, tandis que l'observation, a fortiori participante, en était quasiment absente (Bongrand, Laborier, 2005). Comme le notent des travaux récents (Biland, 2008, p. 23), « l'analyse des politiques publiques demeure souvent insuffisamment attentive aux acteurs et à leurs trajectoires ».…”

De l'hôpital à l'état : le regard ethnographique au chevet de l'action publique

Gouvernement Et Action Publique

Ce texte propose de croiser systématiquement méthode ethnographique et analyse de l'action publique. Quatre niveaux d'étude d'une action publique sont à ce titre définis : ceux des destinataires de cette action, de ses acteurs publics des premiers et seconds rangs (streel-level bureaucrats et intermédiaires multiples), enfin de ses concepteurs. Il montre dans une première partie que l'analyse de l'action publique a évolué peu à peu vers plus de réalisme, par une réduction (limitée) de son ethnocentrisme de position initial, par une critique (incomplète) du modèle de l'homo oeconomicus, enfin par un (relatif) déplacement méthodologique. Il montre ensuite que, bien qu'elle lui soit encore peu appliquée, l'ethnographie est un mode de connaissance propice à l'étude de l'action publique : elle permet de dépasser l'ethnocentrisme de position, de mobiliser tous les outils des sciences sociales, de ne pas ignorer certaines dimensions essentielles des acteurs, comme la trajectoire sociale, la génération ou le genre. Enfin ce texte illustre ce croisement en donnant quelques méthodes, « ficelles » et résultats obtenus à propos de l'action publique hospitalière dans les années 2000.
