Abstract

The state is supposed to represent the public interest and to ensure public powers. However, the power of its institutions can be put at the service of private interests. In this context, the state becomes the servant of private interests, notably by constituting an elite that has both the power of money and control of state mechanisms, as well as a growing share of the country's wealth. The institutions themselves can be dominated by a technocracy that gradually invades democratic spaces. Finally, given the economic stakes, systems of corruption are set up, which weakens the necessary national solidarities.
