Investigating the Internationalisation of State Nobilities: A Reflexive Return to Double Game Strategies

In the second part of this interview, Yves Dezalay – an Emeritus cnrs researcher who spent much of his professional career at the Centre of European Sociology in Paris – takes us even deeper into his trajectory as a scholar. In situating the institutional-intellectual spaces in which he circulated, Dezalay brings to life the inter/intra-disciplinary boundaries he regularly crossed and even forced open in his quest to understand the complexity of interconnections between the national and the international, the professional and the political, as well as the law and the state in overlapping processes of globalization. Speaking about his long-term collaboration with professor of law Bryant Garth, Dezalay also elaborates a collaborationist methodology of transversal, multi-sited research.
