Classissisme et modernisme de l'administration allemande 

 - Paris :  IIAP,  avril/juin 1996 
<br/><br/> The German administrative system is at once both modern and classical. It is modern because it encompasses a distribution of functions via a series of sub-systems and contains autonomous areas of activity. It is classical because its mode or organisation has lasted despite political changes, because it is enriched by a legal culture which respects the principle of legality and because it is integrated into the world of economics. As in the rest of Europe, the scarcity of public resources dominates the question of the evolution of Germany's administration. This does not necessarily mean a lesser role for the State, but involves a redeployment of State intervention in new areas of activity
