Yves COLMOU - A New Model for Local Authorities

Pouvoirs n°117 - Serviteurs de l’Etat - avril 2006 - p.27-37

The territorial civil service is the result of the devolution process, and of the determination to endow the local authorities with agents and executives able to manage their new activities. Around the principles of the unity of the territorial civil service, of its specificity and its similarity with the state’s civil service, an original, consensual model has emerged which can be seen as both a job market and a civil service career path. The local authorities executives are close to the elected officials, they serve the public and a territory, they are in charge of major projects and budgets, and they fulfil functions that are more and more attractive.
