Le service national de la coopération, instrument de l'action extérieure de la France 

 - Paris :  IIAP,  avirl/juin 1988 
<br/><br/> lternative service overseas has changed considerably since its inception in 1965, and now concerns the Ministries of Foreign Aid, Foreign Affairs, Economic & Finance and Foreign Trade. Recruiting and processing procedures have been streamlined. It was initially concentrated on Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, later extending to French-speaking Africa and, more recently, to industrialized countries. Developing countries now require more highly specialized personnel. Originally intended for developing countries, alternative service now extends into highly industrial countries, where personnel contribute to broading trade relations and spreading French cultural values
