    Le jeu du compromis. L’État et les collectivités territoriales dans la décentralisation en France
    in Revue française d'administration publique , N. 121-122 ,  2007 ,  111-130
    France has recently legislated important transfers of competences from the state to local authorities. These transfers have often been presented as the result of a unilateral strategy to lessen the administrative burden on the state by shifting it to the local authorities. The article questions this simplistic approach, showing that from the time it was put on the agenda to the time it was elaborated and the reform put in place, decentralisation has been a matter of compromise between the state and territorial authorities.
