Camille Gutt and postwar international finance
\"As a businessman, financier, diplomat, minister and the first managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Camille Gutt (1884-1971) was involved in all the important financial negotiations that took place between the 1920s and the 1950s. Crombois uses Gutt's personal archives to examine the rise and fall of financial diplomacy as a largely private enterprise. He looks at how financial diplomacy and official diplomacy differed, and confronts the confusion between private and public interests, the high level of informality in the financial sector and the growth of postwar self-identification with national interests\"--P. [4] of cover.

Le Congo et l'ethnographie : colonialisme, sociologie et ethnologie en Belgique avant 1914
In the beginning of the 20th century, sociology, ethnography and colonialism became increasingly interrelated. As a result of evolutionary theories, colonialism has created a relationship of domination between cultures. In ethnography, fieldwork surveys are conducted within this framework. For Belgian scientists, the new Congo colony offers a unique field of research. In the Solvay Institute of Sociology, surveys carried out have two objectives. First, they are designed to improve the knowledge of African people. Second, they bring about new ways to rule more efficiently the colony regardless of the local population. The Waxweiler-Durkheim debate about totetism shows that social scientists find also in ethnography new elements to promote sociology as a science.
