Abstract

Decentralisation is back on the political agenda in France, associated with the Act prepared by the Ministre de l'Intérieur , Pierre Joxe. It is argued that the reform is, above all, about reorganising the State territorial services in order to match local dynamism. An attempt is made to define a new balance between local authorities and the State in order to deal with some current problems such as the university crisis and the consequences of the urban crisis.
