On return, these administrators of French overseas territories and colonial civil engineers were appointed to newly created peripheral structures, called mission bodies, in charge of designing and implementing the modernisation of national structures. These agentscareers seem to suggest that the experience of the colonial bush is part of a professional mission or action culture, considered anti-office, and characterised by a refusal of the traditional forms of administrative action
