    Dévolution de compétences du niveau régional vers le niveau local : décentralisation, asymétrie et concertation
    in Revue française d'administration publique , N. 121-122 ,  2007 ,  161-174
    The article studies the processes by which competences are devolved from regional to local institutions. As devolution involves an extension of the latter’s competences, it requires however an appropriate context for the exercise of competences. It also supposes the reinforcement of a regional structure in all Europe, a structure which in some cases is based on demands of a political and historical nature and in others on economic and Community integration considerations. In many states, rather than a process of devolution, various mechanisms allow local institutions to collaborate with and participate in state and regional decision-making processes, which also strengthens local powers.
