    Les publicistes français et la CED, controverse doctrinale et engagement civique
    in Relations internationales , n°149 ,  2012 ,  101-113
    The treaty of Paris which established a European Defence Community was signed under pressure from the US. From 1952 to 1954 the opportunity to ratify violently divided the political and intellectual scene. An unknown fact is that professors of public law were involved in public debate in the summer of 1954 regarding a doctrinal controversy published in the national press. The revision of this episode allows us to specify the nature of the lawyers’ intervention, which can be defined as an intervention by specific intellectuals who took up the cause on issues of law in the name of specialized knowledge. The legal controversy recalls the importance of the issue of transfer of sovereignty in the divisions that do not just refer to a conflict of cold war. This paper contributes to the presentation of the « crusaders games around the law » in that it shows the correlation between civic commitment and doctrinal position even as the players differentiate the two positions.
