Decentralization in Overseas Departments: Between Continuity and Renewal
La décentralisation dans les DOM entre continuité et renouvellement
Abstract
After a period of twenty years of decentralisation in the overseas departments it is now possible to evaluate the lines of continuity and discontinuity. With regard to the former, there has been an accentuation of departmental regionalisation and the continuation of divisions of the basis of origin at the top level of local administration. Lines of discontinuity are mainly to be found with respect to the transformation of methods of adaptation and in the restructuring of the debate on institutions.
Les lignes de la continuité
- L’accentuation de la régionalisation monodépartementale
- La persistance de la répartition par origine de la haute administration locale
Les lignes de discontinuité
- La transformation de la méthode d’adaptation
- La restructuration du débat institutionnel.
