Toward a Social History of Political Asylum in France
Pouvoirs n°144 - Les réfugiés - janvier 2013 - p.67-77
The article suggests understanding political asylum through the social history of the institutions and agents that have implemented it in France since the end of the Second World War. Until the end of the 1970s, the protection officers had a social, cultural and political profile very similar to that of the refugees with whom they dealt. Then, due to new recruitments and to a more global approach of the control of migratory flows, they lost their autonomy, becoming one segment among many of the administration in charge of foreigners. Thus, the history of the relationship between the State and foreigners can be explained by the relationship between the political priorities of the government and the social profile of the agents recruited to implement them.
