Pierre MAUROY - Interdistrict Cooperation

Pouvoirs n°95 - La commune en France et en Europe - novembre 2000 - p.33-42

The French exception does not lie in the existence of three levels of local authorities, but in the number of districts and the difficulty of reforming them. From this point of view, the law of July 1999 represents a real break with the past. By adopting a ten-year perspective, by maintaining the network of local officials, by taking as its goal the establishment over the entire territory of interdistrict structures elected by direct universal suffrage and granted new power at the local level, interdistrict cooperation may become the keystone of a new stage in the process of decentralization.
