Active Aging: Development, Legitimation and Attempts to Diffuse a Transversal System of Reference in Europe The role taken on by the European Commission in the process of diffusing active aging allows one to understand how the political quasi-consensus regarding the need to keep older people active in response to the “problem” of aging has been developed and legitimated. We present the emergence of the notion of active aging in the context of international social policies for purposes of contextualization and orientation. International organizations and their role in defining active aging are identified according to their place in the field of international social policies. The empirical aspect of the present article focuses on the mechanisms that the EC has established to legitimate and diffuse the notion of active aging. This article employs content analysis methods and lexicometric analysis and draws upon the differentiated and illustrated materials that accompany the modes of development and diffusion adopted by the EC. We in this way demonstrate that the technical and political effectiveness of the transversal reference system for active aging stem from the fact that it is presented as a positive and consensual solution setting forth the social determinants inherent to the aging process.
