Abstract

La crise de la covid-19 a visibilisé la place de l’expertise au sein des instances décisionnelles. Le caractère interconnecté de différents phénomènes aussi bien sanitaires que sociaux, économiques, psychologiques qu’organisationnels a ouvert la voie à des collaborations interdisciplinaires. Cet article soutient que la reconnaissance du caractère incertain de l’avenir est une précondition nécessaire au bon fonctionnement du dialogue interdisciplinaire. Cependant, cette précondition n’est régulièrement pas de mise parmi les économistes standards qui peinent à dépasser leurs présupposés quant à la réduction constante de l’incertitude en une série de risques quantifiés. En prenant pour objet le cas de la Suisse et sa « Swiss National covid-19 Science Task Force », nous montrons que l’analyse coûts-bénéfices induite par la prédominance du raisonnement économique standard met à l’épreuve la volonté de la Task Force d’inscrire sa démarche dans l’interdisciplinarité. Cet article fait finalement l’hypothèse que l’inclusion d’une hétérodoxie économique qui reconnaît le caractère incertain de l’avenir aurait quant à elle pu permettre d’amorcer un tel dialogue interdisciplinaire.
