Les déterminants de la performance des gouvernances territoriales. Le cas des stratégies concertées de développement durable des territoires

At this time of deep-rooted reforms in French multi-layered territorial organisation, it is interesting to analyse how, since the 1999 LOADDT (?Loi d?orientation et d?aménagement durable des territories? or ?Territorial Sustainable Strategy and Development Law?), this territorial organisation has already seen a slow but profound revolution during the last decade. This paper presents the results of a four-year study carried out into concerted territorial sustainable development strategies. We study the systems of local transversal territorial governance that managed the development and implementation of these strategies and, in particular, the key factors that determine performance in territorial governance.
