Executive:

These semi-structured interviews were conducted using a common questionnaire by Anne-Laure Peaussier, Ulrike Lepont (PhD UM), and Sébastien Guignier (IEP Bordeaux). It comprised three sets of questions: (i) social background, (ii) degree of involvement in the public policy decision-making process, (iii) the reform models they have championed (ideas and instruments advocated). The aim was to obtain data on their personal and professional trajectories to supplement the sociobiographical profiles that had been compiled and to be able to reconstruct the dimensions and/or options for reform around which these elites had mobilized. Taking into account the historicity of professional careers makes it possible to show how these elites can change or adapt their vision of the future of certain reforms according to the collective representations that prevail.
