    Les hybrides de la mondialisation : acteurs, objets et espaces de l’économie politique internationale
    in Revue française de science politique , Volume 56, Numéro 5, Octobre ,  2006 ,  765-788
    The notion of hybrid is often used in analyses of the growing influence of non state actors and informal mechanisms of power in the context of globalisation. Yet, the notion has hardly ever been conceptualised. Building upon critical approaches in international political economy, this article provides a theoretical account of the concept of global hybrids. Recent scholarship on globalisation tends to focus on the private/public nexus of the actors involved in new forms of institutional arrangements and authority. Here, actors, objects and space are analysed as joint issues. The paper argues that global hybrids confers authority on private actors previously deprived of such attributes, includes a new class of objects closely related to the political implication of science and technology, and spreads out in a space where the endogenous logic of territorial sovereignty gives way to an exogenous logic reinforcing the transnational underpinning of capitalism.
