Jean-Raphael ALVENTOSA - State Servants: Means and Constraints

Pouvoirs n°117 - Serviteurs de l’État - avril 2006 - p.77-92

The servants of the state are submitted to important constraints, be they international, financial, managerial, political or journalistic. The state operates without credit and with fewer levers of action than in the past and with civil servants who are often disenchanted. Yet, the means at its disposal are enormous. In France, public spending is relatively high and the civil servants themselves are not to be pitied. In fact, it is necessary to find new margins for manoeuvring and this is precisely what the LOLF (Organic law regarding financial statutes) is about. Yet it will not be sufficient without the definition of a strategy for the state. Résumé
