Prefects and Governors in Nineteenth-century Europe
This edited collection presents a pan-European history of intermediary government and administration in nineteenth-century Europe. Taking a closer look at senior government officials who represented the sovereign or state far away from the capital, the book highlights the intermediary nature of their roles, which fell somewhere between the municipality and central bureaucracy. Against the backdrop of revolution and upheaval brought about by the Enlightenment and the First World War, the nineteenth century was a crucial period for reform and political change. Taking a transnational approach, the contributors examine the similarities between the challenges that faced government officials in di...
Diversity as Strategic Opportunity
The principle of equality has always been considered as one of the fundamental values of modern societies; it compels administration to provide equal treatment to all subjects it enters in touch with, which is normally expressed as a general prohibition of discrimination. However, in recent times, the idea, according to which equality is not based only on protection against discrimination but also on promotion of diversity as a source of richness for society, is widely shared. This book gives a multidisciplinary overview of some of the possible methods and tools which are nowadays experimented by administration, in order to properly face the practical problems connected to diversity.

Prefects, Governors and Commissioners
"Tanguy and Eymeri-Douzans have assembled a timely collection of papers on prefects and their equivalents in Europe. This book fills a gap in the literature, demonstrating that even countries favouring decentralization also have forms of control from the centre. It is even more interesting by its anchoring in administrative history and the patterns of diffusion of the prefectoral role." - B. Guy Peters, University of Pittsburgh "Eymeri-Douzans and Tanguy's book on regional governors in Europe will be the standard reference in its field. Offering many country chapters and comparative assessments, it is a valuable source to anyone interested in regional governance." - Jon Pierre, University of...

Public Administration in Europe
This book considers the ways in which public administration (PA) has been studied in Europe over the last forty years, and examines in particular the contribution of EGPA, the European Group for Public Administration, both to the growth of a truly pan-European PA, and to the future of PA in Europe. The book provides a lively reflection on the state of the art of PA both over the past forty years and over the next forty years. It reflects on the consolidation and institutionalisation of EGPA as the European community for the study of PA in Europe, and demonstrates the need for such a regional group for PA in Europe, as well as for regional groups for the study of PA in other parts of the world. The book also demonstrates the functional, cultural and institutional reasons that underpin the significance of a regional group for researching and studying PA at an ‘intermediate level of governance’ between the national and the global levels. The book provides rich insights about the state of the art of PA in Europe from the leading public administration scholars.
La Corrida chez le faux prêtre
Un jeune dur au coeur tendre, deux très belles femmes, un flic de la vieille école et ses trois agents de choc, une secte criminelle et son inquiétant gourou, une organisation souterraine aux pouvoirs étendus... Ce ne sont là que quelques éléments de ce polar délibérément irrespectueux des valeurs traditionnelles : de l'avocat véreux et de sa très distinguée épouse, de l'insoupçonnable trafiquant de drogues à l'implacable redresseur de torts en marge des lois, le lecteur vogue de surprises en rebondissements jusqu'au coup de théâtre final.
Government
Citizens have lost trust in their institutions of public governance. In trying to fix the problem, presidents and prime ministers have misdiagnosed the patient, failing to recognize that government bureaucracies are inseparable from political institutions. As a result, career officials have become adroit at managing the blame game but much less so at embracing change. Donald Savoie looks to the United States, Great Britain, France, and Canada to assess two of the most important challenges confronting governments throughout the Western world: the concentration of political power and the changing role of government bureaucracy. The four countries have distinct institutions shaped by distinct h...
La France et ses administrations : un état des savoirs
En pleine congruence avec l’ambition du Groupe Européen pour l’Administration Publique d’encourager les échanges interculturels, ce livre constitue une entreprise originale, mi-anglophone mi-francophone.

Dès lors ce livre, en 18 chapitres rédigés en français par une équipe interdisciplinaire (politistes, sociologues, historiens, socio-historiens, juristes) avec plus de 150 pages en anglais et une vaste bibliographie unifiée, entend offrir à tous les spécialistes de l’administration publique de par le monde un point d’a...

Les préfets et le sport
Les cas mis en lumière et les stimulantes pistes de recherche tracées au cours du colloque «Les préfets et les sports» qui s’est tenu à Lyon les 7 et 8 novembre 2019 ont pourtant montré la diversité des liens à tisser entre le corps préfectoral et le champ du sport, entendu dans son acception la plus large, aussi bien comme pratiques de loisir et de compétition que comme spectacle. Cet ouvrage entend approfondir la connaissance du rôle de l’État dans l’organisation, le développement et le contrôle des diverses activités physiques et sportives en France, au prisme de la figure de son plus haut représentant civil dans les territoires. À cet effet, il propose une tranche chronologique qui s’étend de la Restauration à nos jours et s’efforce de mettre en lumière l’action préfectorale dans la conduite, encore trop méconnue, des politiques sportives au niveau départemental.
