The prosographic study will be a discussion thread to discover and characterize the world of the high administration of the Austrian Netherlands, in the private life and the professional career. So, we will define some "profiles", as the servant with modest origins and many merits or as the persons for whom the birth is the most important.

We will observe the case of the presence of some foreigners in this "belgian" high administration. Through these examples, we can observe strategies of career and the existence of a nominations policy defined by Vienna. In consideration of that, it will be important to measure the impact of various factors and their evolution in the 18th century, as nepotism, protections, sales of the offices and the "médianate".
