The projet de loi portant nouvelle organisation territoriale de la République in the context of the French devolution

Abstract

Territorial devolution is becoming an increasingly important issue in France, that is a country with a longstanding centralist tradition. The contorted process, begun in the Eighties, that lead to the emersion of local powers, develops through three subsequent phases (the so-called Actes I, II et III de la décentralisation). Those stages culminated in the drafting of the bill concerning a new territorial organization of the Republic (so-called loi NOTRe), which is now undergoing parliamentary review. The paper purports to analyze the three stages of devolution and to outline the backdrop against which the bill was introduced.
