La politique française, des symboles aux faits - Paris : IIAP, avril/juin 1989

French administrative co-operation consists mainly of exports. In the developing countries it touches every aspect of administrative activity: training, public administration and institutional refor. It has two contradictory traits: a fairly strong politico-administrative will accompanied by relatively well-defined projects on the one hand; and a certain cumbersomeness resulting from overlapping sources of finance and, above all, from increasing diversification and the multiplicity of often ill-matched supply and demand operations, on the other. The future of this co-operation appears to be rather finely balanced, coming as it does within the scope of foreign policy which is a much a question of symbols as of facts
