Pierre DELVOLVÉ - The Privatization of the Civil Service

Pouvoirs n°117 - Serviteurs de l’État - avril 2006 - p.107-120

The privatization of the civil service refers to the attribution of a private law status to agents who work directly or indirectly for the state. It could lead to a transformation of the service itself that could be performed by a private enterprise or could be managed according to commercial or industrial rules. It could be envisaged even for civil servants who directly perform certain administrative functions. There are already some contradictory solutions, and the privatisation of civil servants should be prudent and limited. Résumé
