    Formes et tendances des rapports entre États et collectivités territoriales
    in Revue française d'administration publique , N. 121-122 ,  2007 ,  19-34
    The article gives a broad description of relations between States and territorial authorities in Europe: the principle of cooperation, relations between national and regional lawmakers, between national and regional governments, between territorial authorities on the one hand, regions and States on the other, from the point of view of forms of collaboration, which can be very diverse – preventive consultations, concertations, common agencies and entities, obligatory information exchanges. In addition to matters of form and procedure, the article also discusses basic issues, such as going beyond a rigid distribution of competences, or the different aims that can be achieved by cooperation among public entities – aims related to the general good, such as the coordination and harmonisation of certain public services, or political aims, as opposition to the majority in power at the centre.
