ArticlePublisher: Paris : IIAP, oct./déc. 1998Revue Française D'Administration Publique 88, p. 507-516Abstract: The decentralisation movement has trived on the disillusionment surrounding the capacity of centralised systems to realise necessary reforms effectively. Amongst the advantages of decentralisation, the influence that it may have on civil society should be stressed. The existence of active local authorities brings with it a proliferation of opportunities for citizens to act. The fact that this opening may also have negative consequences should not be overlooked. Democratisation must be accompanied by a fair allocation for responsabilities. With there being no a priori applicable model, ajustments are inevitably necessary
