Vincent WRIGHT - Democratizing the French administrative elite: remarks from a British observer

Pouvoirs n°80 - L’ENA - janvier 1997 - p.101-114

Why is ENA so greatly admired abroad and so disliked in France? Why has a School, which was founded in part to democratize the administrative elite, become the focus for the controversies on the democratization of that elite? Why is the democratization of the administrative elite so important in France? And why is democratization so intrinsically difficult? Résumé
