Institut Maurice Thorez
Institut Maurice Thorez ('Maurice Thorez Institute') was a French research institution linked to the French Communist Party.[1] The Institute was set up in the mid-1960s (alongside the Marxist Studies and Research Centre), as part of a process of ideological reorientation of the Communist Party. These two new institutes encouraged more creative forms of applications of Marxism to theoretical and political problems.[2] At the Institut Maurice Thorez communist historians were able to research without strict party control.[3] The Institute published Cahiers de l'Institut Maurice Thorez.[4]
Georges Cogniot was the founding director of the Institute, a position he held for various years.[5][6] As of 1978, Jean Burles served as director of the Institute.[7]
In 1980 the Institute was merged with the Marxist Studies and Research Centre, forming the Marxist Research Institute.[8]
