Abstract

[In Chapter 2 suggested that there may be some reciprocity between the ‘professionalism’ of the engineers, explained in the terms of the Weberian model of domination and legitimacy, and a similar process in the political arena. In order to examine this suggestion, this chapter will focus on the point of interface between the engineering profession and the political discourse in the specific historical context of the 1920s. The choice of this particular context is based on the fact that it was only after the First World War that the process in question, both in the professional and in the political contexts, matured to a degree that significant conclusions could be drawn from its analysis. This was due mainly to the material and cultural effect that the war had on French society and the consequent drive for reconstruction, which brought about reflexivity with regard to the potentialities of certain ideas and social groups.]
