As a sociologist, Gautier Pirotte studies how multinational organizations define civil society. He wrote the eponym handbook.

The Porphyry software allows browsing simultaneously two viewpoints modeling two concurrent theories: the economy of worth (Boltanski & Thévenot, 2006) and his own theory on civil society (Pirotte, 2007).
