La réforme du quai d'orsay 

 - Paris :  IIAP,  janv./mars 1996 
<br/><br/> In France, reform at the Quai d'Orsay, undertaken in 1993, was intended to create a more dynamic diplomatic network by revaluing the role of ambassadors, by utilising means of communication and by making use of posts to carry out background and prospective studies. Particular efforts have also been made to mobilise workers, to reinforce coordination between services and the collegiate functioning of the department. Finally, the sovereignty of the ministry of foreign affairs within the state must be restored through it being attributed once again with the capacity to engage in interministerial activity
