Histoire philosophique du concept de subsidiarité (Bruxelles, 20 octobre 1992)

Text
On 20 October 1992, in Brussels, the Commission of the European Communities presents a document on the notion of subsidiarity. This document highlights the changing meanings of this concept, including the Calvinist, corporatist and subsidiary theory of a secularised state. It also analyses Althusius’ ‘jus sunbioticum’, which constitutes the root of the subsidiarity principle, and refers to the Anglo-American liberal approach upheld by John Locke in this respect.
