Research Focus

LAGRANGE's work critically examines power structures within global governance through sociological lenses. Her research spans:

• French foreign policy evolution and implementation
• Internal dynamics of international organizations and multilateralism
• Critical theoretical frameworks in international relations
• Sociological analysis of diplomatic elites and state bureaucracies

She investigates how transnational networks and institutional practices shape foreign policy outcomes.

Publications Overview

Her scholarly output reveals consistent focus on the social dimensions of international relations, exemplified by the 2021 edited volume The Social Turn of the International which reframes civil society's role in global governance. Publications systematically analyze institutional power through case studies of diplomatic elites, concert diplomacy mechanisms, and methodological innovations, demonstrating interdisciplinary integration of political science, sociology, and public administration.

At Paris-Panthéon-Assas University, she teaches international relations, international organizations, major contemporary political issues (with Thomas Ehrhard), and political science. She extends her expertise to Sciences Po Paris through courses on French foreign policy and global space, directly connecting her research on state elites to classroom instruction.
