    La cooperation intercommunale en France
    in Istituzioni del federalismo , n. 3 ,  2012 ,  583 - 599
    Municipalities with less than 20,000 inhabitants account for more than 60% of the French population; those with less than 10,000 account for more than 50%; more than one-third of the population lives in towns with less than 3,500 inhabitants. These data succinctly suggest why inter-municipal cooperation is a necessity in France in the 21st century. The French legislature has identified several forms of inter-municipal organization, featuring varying levels of integration. Their policy objective is to achieve a reduction in the number of municipalities, and inter-municipal cooperation has been identified as the tool to achieve this result.
