Born in 1957, and a former student of the École polytechnique and the École nationale d’administration, Marc Olivier Baruch has served since 1981 as a civil servant in the French Ministries of Education and Culture and in the Prime Minister’s Office. His career shifted to the academic world in 1997 when he became a research fellow in the Centre national de la recherche scientifique. Published the same year, his doctoral thesis about the French Civil Service during WWII (Servir l’État français. L’administration en France de 1940 à 1944) made him a key expert in the latest post-war trial of the French civil service, French Republic vs Maurice Papon.
In 2003, he was elected as directeur d’études in the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS). His teachings and research deal with contemporary European politcal history, especially of the State and the Civil Service. As a specialist of the Vichy regime, he has also published a general story of the period (Le Régime de Vichy, Paris, La Découverte, 1996, translated into German Das Vichy-Regime : Frankreich 1940-1944, Reclam Verlag, 1999), and edited a collective study on the purges of French society after WWII (Une poignée de misérables : l’épuration de la société française après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Paris, Fayard, 2003).
He is currently working on a book dealing with the complex relationship between history, politics and law in contemporary France.
