Eric Jabbari examines Pierre Laroque's contribution to the rise of
the French welfare state, namely his role as the architect of the
social security plan which was adopted by the provisional
government in 1945. The conception of the Laroque Plan was a
product of his work as a civil servant and social policy expert,
and it reflected the diverse combination of influences: his
background in administrative law and his onetime support for the
corporatist management of industrial relations. These experiences
were all the more notable since they were marked by his belief in
the necessity of an increased state interventionism which was
mitigated by administrative decentralisation. The purpose of social
policy, in his mind, was to cultivate social solidarity, a task
which could best be achieved if the beneficiaries of this policy
could be encouraged to participate in its implementation. These
concerns remained central to his conception of the state and
society long after he lost his enthusiasm for corporatism, and
contributed to the shape of post-war social security.
