Abstract: In the 1970s, in France, a few researchers (e.g. Ignacy Sachs, René Passet) elaborated innovative research programs to have a better understanding of development (in the global North and in the global South) and environmental issues. On the basis of archives and interviews, this article reconstructs and analyses the intellectual and institutional structuring process of the environment- development expertise in France. The case of CIRED, created by Sachs in 1973, helps us illuminate how this new agenda was settled. The results are the followings: the support from national and international institutions has been crucial; and while the new expertise tried to become a new, autonomous field, it finally had to go through a normalization process to exist in the academic landscape of the 1980s.
