This volume provides new insights into the functioning of organizational, managerial and market societies. Multilevel analysis and social network analysis are described and the authors show how they can be combined in developing the theory, methods and empirical applications of the social sciences. This book maps out the development of multilevel reasoning and shows how it can explain behavior, through two different ways of contextualizing it. First, by identifying levels of influence on behavior and different aggregations of actors and behavior, and complex interactions between context and behavior. Second, by identifying different levels as truly different systems of agency: such levels of agency can be examined separately and jointly since the link between them is affiliation of members of one level to collective actors at the superior level. It is by combining these approaches that this work offers new insights. New case studies and datasets that explore new avenues of theorizing and new applications of methodology are presented. This book will be useful as a reference work for all social scientists, economists and historians who use network analyses and multilevel statistical analyses. Philosophers interested in the philosophy of science or epistemology will also find this book valuable.

Le présent ouvrage collectif Du partage au marché, regards croisés sur la circulation des savoirs est à tous égards un essai portant sur l’émergence d’une économie de la connaissance dans laquelle se pose la question de la marchandisation du savoir. Ce choix résulte du fait incontestable de changement de position des connaissances, qu’elles soient scientifiques ou qu’elles relèvent de la simple activité quotidienne. Il est clair d’abord que la connaissance scientifique est devenue la première des « matières premières ». Il est clair aussi que dans le monde du travail, les facteurs de la compétitivité s’expriment désormais en termes d’innovation et de management des connaissances. Il est clair, enfin, que, dans nos sociétés, la circulation de biens tels que les connaissances pratiques, professionnelles, scientifiques, mais aussi culturelles et éducatives, passe pour une part importante par le marché, tendance que refusent vigoureusement les « alter-mondialistes ». Comment, dès lors, dépasser ces constats pour comprendre la nature globale des dynamiques à l’œuvre, notamment dans les domaines de la recherche, de l’éducation et de la formation ? Economistes, sociologues, spécialistes des sciences de l’information et de la communication et des sciences de l’éducation ont mis en commun leurs réflexions sur ce sujet.
