Full textAfter the long years of the Louis XIV’s wars, the return of peace in Europe and on the seas represented the beginning of a new era in the history of Normandy. Within a few years, ports were back on the road to growth thanks to thedevelopment of the colonies and the resumption of commercial activities. The massive arrival of colonial products and in particular of the "cotton king", brought about many changes in urban centres and countryside where spinning was booming. The development of the Atlantic economy and its importance for the Norman economy was, however,not without consequences. Even if it brought a certain ease and enabled many rural inhabitants to ensure their daily subsistence, it sealed at the same time the fate of a part of the population to the commercial activities and the vicissitudes of the textile industry, which was rapidly expanding. This dissertation relies on a quantitative and spatial analysis, with a focus on crises and subsistence riots, to study the consequences of the integration of Normandy in the Atlantic economy. Beyond a re-examination of the crisis that erupted between the Peace of Utrecht and the American War of Independence, this research focuses on two emblematic periods marked by major transformations. The signature in 1786 of the so-called Eden-Rayneval trade treaty between France and England, which put an end to the mercantilist policy in force since 1713, marked the beginning of the first period. The second is that of the crisis caused by the French Revolution, the revolt of the slaves in Saint-Domingue in 1791, and the return of the war on the seas in 1793

Full textThe aim of the Ph.D. dissertation is to contribute to improve our knowledge of the development process in the automotive industry in Spain. This research undertakes an economic history of the firm “FASA-Renault” between its foundation in 1951 and 1985 when the Spanish economy was about to join the EEC. In the analysis of the firm through the thesis, a chronological structure and an evolutionary perspective is adopted. The study of FASA is relevant: throughout the period examined, the firm produced on average up to a 24% of the total volume of cars manufactured in Spain. The objective is twofold. First, in chapters 1 and 2 empirical evidence of the role of strategic policy on the industrialization of developing countries is provided. The results go in line with the hypothesis drawn by Chang (1994, 2002). Market protection was the necessary condition that forced Renault to transfer its technology and its production licenses to FASA. More importantly, the optimum for Renault was to sell in Spain the cars that were produced in France, while its second best was to assemble in Spain the complete sets manufactured in the France. Second, in chapters 3 and 4 the key factors for FASA-Renault’s success are established. Following Chandler (1990), it is possible to argue that the accomplishments of the firm came from the realization of the triple investment in production, commercialization and management. As a result, FASA became the main Renault production center outside France.

Ce travail se proposait à l’origine d’étudier, dans sa complexité, l’approvisionnement d’une grande ville du royaume en lien avec la diversité des consommations alimentaires de ses habitants. De grandes monographies ont été entreprises sur le premier thème, essentiellement dans le cadre parisien1. Quant aux recherches sur le goût et les consommations, elles n ’ont cessé d’occuper, depuis les travaux pionniers de Jean-Louis Flandrin2, un nombre croissant d’historiens, jusqu’à aboutir à la création récente d’un Institut Européen d’Histoire de l ’Alimentation, dont le colloque fondateur s’est tenu à Strasbourg en janvier 2001. L’étude qui suit, dont l ’ambition première était de croiser ces deux axes de recherche, se situe en définitive, au terme d ’une réflexion nourrie autant des apports historiographiques récents que de la richesse des sources lyonnaises, dans l’espace qui, selon le point de vue adopté, les relie ou les sépare. Son objectif est d’appréhender l ’économie urbaine d’Ancien Régime à travers l’analyse d’un commerce aussi banal qu’essentiel, celui de l’alimentation. Dans cette perspective, elle s’attache à démêler, à l’échelle de la cité, l’écheveau des valeurs, des relations et des pratiques qui président à la fabrication, à la circulation et à la consommation des denrées. Parce qu’il est absolument vital pour la population urbaine et représente, de ce fait même, un enjeu essentiel pour les autorités de la cité, le commerce alimentaire constitue un observatoire privilégié à la fois des mécanismes ordinaires de l ’échange dans la ville d’Ancien Régime et des acteurs qui les animent.

Full textThis thesis examines the impacts of the restructuring of multinational enterprises on trade union strategies. Are local union strategies an outcome of national institutional embeddedness and organizational contingencies, or can unions in fact influence core elements of corporate decision-making vis-à-vis restructuring? This research speaks to major scholarly debates concerning economic globalization, corporate restructuring, and union organization. In terms of theory, this thesis addresses three large analytical approaches, these being: neo-institutionalism and opportunity structures; critical political economy and the question of union power; and critical economic geography in relation to contingencies, embeddedness, and competition across borders. Drawing from these three theories, this research proposes a new multidisciplinary model of analysis for research on union strategies. In terms of methodology, this thesis is structured around four case studies of local unions in two countries (Canada and France) and a specific sector (automobile equipment manufacturers). Three qualitative sources are at the heart of this thesis: descriptive statistics, documentation from secondary sources, and semi-structured interviews (44), primarily focused union actors. This thesis analyzes union strategies within and across jurisdictions to elucidate their ramifications for firms and workers, particularly in the context of restructuring. The principal contributions of this thesis touch on: 1. the impacts of power resources developed by local unions on institutional opportunity structures; 2. the importance of cognitive aspects of strategy and its implications for power in a multi-level context; and 3. the importance of social embeddedness and social relations between unions and employers; 4. the omnipresence of international/national/regional/local competition in the automobile equipment manufacturing sector; and 5. the importance of trade-offs and relationships between business players from the vantage point of contingency theory to understand the structural facets of local union action. This research invites social actors to rethink their strategies concerning corporate restructuring. In particular, local unions should explore new strategic repertoires of action for responding the new challenges pertaining to economic change and restructuring.

Full textStrongly connected to international trade, the French textile industry experienced erratic changes between 1871 and 1914. The adoption of protectionist tariffs in 1892 favor cotton manufacturers at the expense of wool and silk producers. The latter export their luxury merchandise on markets that are open to competition. They deal very little on colonial markets, due to a lack of interest in their products. Bold direct importation policies on raw materials help overcome some disadvantages, especially in Roubaix. Several manufacturers urge the government to reform its foreign trade services and hire specialists, but they do not act upon recommendations from experts regarding the adoption of certain measures to promote exports. Several shortcomings of French trade were pointed out early on, but it proved difficult to apply swift solutions. In the context of greater foreign competition, France performed better than we would have imagined. The flexibility of the French manufacturing industry helps it to obtain several orders in the luxury and semi-luxury goods niches. Its level of integration, weaker than in other countries, sometimes proves to be an advantage. However, the textile industry is crippled by its leaders’ great difficulty to do stable business outside of their families. That said, those who deal in specialized, rare or patented production manage to reach agreements more easily and gain the upper hand. The performance and organization of the French textile industry abroad demonstrate that the domestic market provided little incentive to manufacturers to adopt the best possible conditions for production. These companies and those successful exporting their goods are often the strongest and most profitable.
