Rationalité juridique et rationalité managériale dans l'administration française - Paris : IIAP, oct./déc. 1982
If one follows the statements of higher French civil servants, one is led to believe that the French administration is completely given over to management and its logics. However, even though such statements reveal quite a change in approach and valuation within the upper ranks of civil servants, the fact remains that the traditional administrative model still prevails, the machinery being caught between two conflicting rationalities, one legal, the other managerial, which oppose each other, while they also combine in practice.
