This wide-ranging text provides an overview of major developments in governance in contemporary society. It illuminates recent theories about the relationship of the public and private sectors, and the interaction of politics and society. The main development in recent years is shown as a shift in the balance between government and society towards the private sector. The book explores the ways in which new balances have been struck between state and market. It examines such new ventures in public-private interaction and endeavours to explain them in terms of coping with the dynamics, complexities and diversities of modern society. In doing so, it develops the outline of a new theory of social-political governance.
La réalisation du Tunnel sous la Manche illustre l'évolution des formes de l'action publique et ses contradictions. Voulu par les États, le Tunnel sous la Manche est confié au secteur privée ; les États en partagent cependant la responsabilité économique par leur engagement dans les investissements publics indispensable à son succès. Le régime juridique du tunnel est analysé par rapport au triple contexte du droit anglais, du droit français et du droit international. L'économie du tunnel est évalué par rapport au trafic transmanche et par rapport à ses implications régionales et européennes. L'analyse comparative des politiques publiques est révélatrice des différences qui séparent les systèmes administratifs français et britanniques. Le tunnel sous la Manche est replacé dans la perspective de l'intégration européenne.
