- Title
Decentralisation in France: new citizenship or restructuring hegemony?
- Authors
Preteceille, Edmond
- Abstract
The recent decentralist reforms in France are generally regarded as a major change with important political consequences. This paper highlights some of the historical processes leading to the reforms, showing the competing political dynamisms of both the Left and the Right in France which helps us to understand the apparent ambiguity of the reforms. It continues with a discussion of the reforms in terms of the stakes in local politics, urban structures and class relations in France, and then reviews the changes which have taken place in local politics and policies, and concludes by assessing the impacts of the changes for local democracy.
