Cooper Thesis submitted for the Qualification of Ph.D. University of Warwick. French Department. September 1997. Summary This thesis focuses upon French colonial discourses at the height of the French imperial encounter with Indochina: 1900-1939. It examines the way in which imperial France viewed her role in Indochina, and the representations and perceptions of Indochina which were produced and disseminated in a variety of cultural media emanating from the metropole. Framed by political, ideological and historical developments and debates, each chapter develops a socio-cultural account of France's own understanding of her role in Indochina, and her relationship with the colony during this crucial period. The thesis asserts that although consistent, French discourses of Empire do not present a coherent view of the nation's imperial identity or role, and that this lack of coherence is epitomised by the Franco-indochinese relationship. The thesis seeks to demonstrate that French perceptions of Indochina were marked above all by a striking ambivalence, and that the metropole's view of the status of Indochina within the Empire was often contradictory, and at times paradoxical.

  • Fiscal Capacity and Dualism in Colonial States: the French Empire 1830-1962 Denis Cogneau1, Yannick Dupraz2 and Sandrine Mesplé-Somps3
    Fiscal Capacity and Dualism in Colonial States: The French Empire 1830-1962 Denis Cogneau1, Yannick Dupraz2 and Sandrine Mesplé-Somps3 Abstract. To provide comparative evidence on the states of the second French colonial empire (1830-1962), we build a new database, unprecedented in detail, and in geographical and historical scope. The data reveal that the French colonies had high extractive efficiency, but low productive efficiency. Colonial states taxed extensively, adapting fiscal tools to varying economic contexts and historical conditions, but they achieved little because public expenditures entailed high wage costs for expatriate civil servants, and exhibited a bias toward needs of French settlers and capitalists. Socioeconomic and political dualism emerges as a common colonial inheritance. Ackowledgements: This work was made possible thanks to the funding of the French National Agency for Research (ANR), Project Afristory ANR-11-BSHS1-006. Supplementary funding from Cepremap was also very useful.

Miceli** Abstract: Throughout history, religious and political authorities have had a mysterious attraction to each other. Rulers have established state religions and adopted laws with religious origins, sometimes even claiming to have divine powers. We propose a political economy approach to theocracy, centered on the legitimizing relationship between religious and political authorities. Making standard assumptions about the motivations of these authorities, we identify the factors favoring the emergence of theocracy, such as the organization of the religion market, monotheism vs. polytheism, and strength of the ruler. We use two sets of data to test the implications of the model. We first use a unique data set that includes information on over three hundred polities that have been observed throughout history. We also use recently available cross-country data on the relationship between religious and political authorities to examine these issues in current societies. The results provide strong empirical support for our arguments about why in some states religious and political authorities have maintained independence, while in others they have integrated into a single entity.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This study demonstrates how Indians with French citizenship were able through their stay in Indochina to have some say in shaping their position within the French colonial empire, and how in turn they made then' mark on Indochina itself. Known as ‘renouncers’, they gained their citizenship by renoimcing their personal laws in order to to be judged by the French civil code. Mainly residing in Cochinchina, they served primarily as functionaries in the French colonial administration, and spent the early decades of their stay battling to secure recognition of their electoral and civil rights in the colony. Their presence in Indochina in turn had an important influence on the ways in which the peoples of Indochina experienced and assessed French colonialism.

    Silke Mende French imperial politics and the long shadow of Francophonie Abstract: The essay analyzes French language policy as a probe to set forth differ- ent notions of “cultural sovereignty” in France from the end of the 19th century to decolonization. It traces the construction of Francophonie as a political project of the early 3rd Republic that involved statal actors and institutions as well as schol- arly and intellectual engagement and an emerging civil society. Although French language policy changed over the years and followed quite different ideas and practices in- and outside the Hexagon it aimed at control, cohesion and cultural sovereignty inside the French nation-state as well as in its colonies. In both cases the different target groups received and appropriated it in diverse and unintended ways. By analyzing the actors, ideas and practices of Francophonie as well as its internal and external facets in the same analytical field the essay tries to bring out the differences and commonalities of French notions of cultural sovereignty between metropole and empire. “C’est avec 76.900 hommes que la France assure la paix et les bienfaits de sa civi- lisation à ses 60 millions d’indigènes.”1 This slogan praising the French colonial army adorned a well-known propaganda painting that was shown at the exposi- tion coloniale in 1931. The exposition held in Paris during six months and attract- ing an estimated 8 million visitors is seen as the peak of French colonialism. After the allocation of the mandates by the League of Nations in the wake of the First World War the French colonial empire was larger than ever before but crises were looming everywhere.

  • The Imperial Roots of Global Trade
    Journal of Economic Growth (2020) 25:87–145 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10887-020-09174-7 The imperial roots of global trade Gunes Gokmen1 · Wessel N. Vermeulen2 · Pierre‑Louis Vézina3 Published online: 8 February 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Throughout history empires facilitated trade within their territories by building and secur- ing trade and migration routes, and by imposing common norms, languages, religions, and legal systems, all of which led to the accumulation of imperial capital. In this paper, we collect novel data on the rise and fall of empires over the last 5000 years, construct a meas- ure of accumulated imperial capital between countries, and estimate its relationship with trade patterns today. Our measure of imperial capital has a positive and signifcant efect on trade beyond potential historical legacies such as sharing a language, a religion, a legal system, or links via natural trade and invasion routes. This suggests a persistent and previ- ously unexplored infuence of long-gone empires on current trade.

  • French Colonial Governors from 1860 to 1960
    University of Zurich Department of Economics Working Paper Series ISSN 1664-7041 (print) ISSN 1664-705X (online) Working Paper No. 366 Attaining Autonomy in the Empire: French Governors between 1860 and 1960 Scott Viallet-Thévenin and Cédric Chambru October 2020 Attaining Autonomy in the Empire: French Governors between 1860 and 1960* SCOTT VIALLET-THÉVENIN† CÉDRIC CHAMBRU‡ October 2020 Abstract This article builds on the concept of linked ecologies to present a study of the occupational careers of French colonial governors between 1830 and 1960. We consider empires as the by-product of social entities structuring themselves. Specifically, we analyse the process of empowerment of this emerging group with respect to other professional groups within the imperial space and the French metropolitan space. Using data on the career of 637 colonial governors between 1830 and 1960, we examine how variations in the recruitment of these high civil servants actually reflect the empowerment of this social entity. We rely on optimal matching technique to distinguish typical sequence models and identify ten common career trajectories that can be grouped in four main clusters. We further compare the share of each clusters in the population of governors over time and show that the rise of the colonial cluster during the Interwar period corresponded to the peak of the administrative autonomy in the colonial space. We argue that this process is consistent with the empowerment of the governors’ corps, which is embodied by a common career within the colonial administration and a collective identity as a group. Keywords: State employment decisions; Empowerment; French colonial Empire; 19th century; 20th century.
