Welcome to the HAL IRISSO

IRISSO (Institut de Recherche Interdisciplinaire en Sciences Sociales) is a CNRS Joint Research Unit associated with the University of Paris Dauphine-PSL. It includes sociologists, political scientists and economists working on health and environmental risks, particularly in the fields of agriculture and food. They are interested in how these risks are defined and governed, at many scales of public action.

IResearch covers topics as diverse as food safety and nutritional quality, global food security, the governance of toxic substances used in agriculture, agricultural markets and animal health policies. On the basis of highly empirical investigations, they contribute to several fields of study in sociology, such as the sociology of public action, economic sociology or the sociology of science.

IRISSO's central research focus is on public and private regulations, their articulation and their transformation. IRISSO's work focuses on the sociology of economic worlds and the analysis of public action.
