La decentralisation dans les DOM entre continuite et renouvellement 

 -  Ecole Nationale d`Administration,  jan-mars. 2002 
<br/><br/> After a period of twenty years of decentralisation in the overseas departments it is now possible to evaluate the lines of continuity and discontinuity. With regard to the former, there has been an accentuation of departmental regionalisation and the continuation of divisions of the basis of origin at the top level of local administration. Lines of discontinuity are mainly to be found with respect to the transformation of methods of adaptation and in the restructuring of the debate on institutions.
