On Saturday, April 6, the La Boétie Institute organized a study day on the State. The third and final round table of the day was entitled "Today, what to do with the State?" It was hosted by Matteo Polleri, PhD in political philosophy. Speakers: Anne-Laure Delatte, researcher in economics at the CNRS and Paris-Dauphine PSL, author of L'État droit dans le mur. Rebâtir l'action publique (2023) Claire Lejeune, PhD student in ecological planning, co-facilitator of the ecological planning department at the La Boétie Institute Claire Lemercier, research director in history at the CNRS, co-author of La valeur du service public (2021) Stefano Palombarini, lecturer in economics, member of the Scientific Council of the La Boétie Institute, co-author of L'illusion du bloc bourgeois. Social Alliances and the Future of the French Model (2018) and Where is the Bourgeois Bloc Going? (2022) The aim was to question the forces of resistance to this authoritarian logic, and how to relaunch a democratic project of collective organization. How can we envisage, within the framework of a project of rupture, a seizure of state power and its radical transformation in connection with popular mobilizations? Questions that encompass those of the overhaul and extension of public services, the construction of an ecological and social orientation, and therefore question the liberal construction of Europe as well as the international and internationalist dimension of such a project.
