A Climate for Investors. Climate Scenarios in the Network for Greening the Financial System
A growing body of scholarly contributions has shown how environmental issues are being “financialised”, as financial actors problematise the environment and the climate as a question of financial valuation. But what effects are their valuation processes having on financial and economic knowledge? By considering the case of the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), I show how central bank economists are trying to create a “climate for …
What makes minerals critical? Problematizing sovereignty in times of crisis
Scaling Up or Deep Scaling? Problematizing the Scalability Imperative in Technological Innovation
This paper problematizes the obsession with "scaling up" that is visible in numerous technological domains. Using the case of hydrogen mobility projects in France, we identify a tension between a discourse of rapid scaling for nationwide deployment, and projects undertaken by local authorities and private companies who make small-scale experiments with hydrogen cars and charging stations more dense, by adding uses, actors, and technical functiona…
Vincent Gayon, Épistémocratie. Enquête sur le gouvernement international du capitalisme: Raisons d’Agir, Paris, 2022, 400 p
Dans cet ouvrage, Vincent Gayon analyse la transformation de l’expertise économique de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE) des années 1960 au milieu des années 2000. Il met au jour le passage progressif d’une ère de régulation keynésienne des économies des pays développés, caractérisée notamment par des objectifs partagés de recherche du plein-emploi et de croissance des niveaux de vie et par un « régime de financ…
Une stabilité financière pour quelle Europe: Controverses juridiques et conflits de souverainetés dans la fabrique des compétences de supervision de la Banque centrale européenne
Cet article étudie les mesures déployées par les acteurs de la Banque centrale européenne (BCE) au titre de leur fonction de supervision des banques de la zone euro dans le cadre de la mise en place de l’Union bancaire en 2014. Il s’intéresse à la façon dont la mise en œuvre juridique du concept de « stabilité financière », qui justifie les actions de la BCE pour préserver les finances publiques des États membres, est investi de significations di…
Agir en européen. Forme et présence de l’État dans la fabrique des décisions de supervision des acteurs de l’union bancaire
Depuis le 4 novembre 2014 et la mise en place du Mécanisme de supervision unique (MSU), la Banque centrale européenne est devenue le superviseur des banques de la zone euro. Cette réforme organise un transfert de souveraineté historique en matière de politique bancaire. L’article interroge ce transfert à l’aune des pratiques ordinaires de prises de décisions au sein du MSU. À partir d’une ethnographie de l’Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de ré…
Exercising knowledge of costs: Behavioural politics of economic restraint in French public service reform
Formuler l’action publique en termes de tests. Les stress tests européens comme réponse aux crises financières et nucléaires
In Europe, stress tests are used by institutional leaders as a tool for regulating the banking and nuclear sectors. They were first used in 2009 in the banking sector in the wake of the sovereign debt crisis and in 2011 in the nuclear sector following the Fukushima accident. Where in the former case their purpose is to convince investors of bank stability, in the latter they seek to reassure the European public as to the safety of nuclear power p…
Banking supervision and the politics of verification: The 2014 stress test in the European Banking Union
The statistical methodology known in financial terminology as 'stress testing' was used by the European Central Bank in 2014 in order to assess the solidity of the banks in the eurozone. This audit process is analysed here as a problem of truth production or 'veridiction' in the sense developed by Michel Foucault in his 1978–1979 lectures at the Collège de France. In order to prove effective, the stress test had to deliver knowledge on banks, obj…
