Abstract
Between local level and Europe. the crisis of the French public policy model The French public policy model, which was at its apogee at the beginning of the Fifth Republic, has three major characteristics : the centrality of the state in mediation procedures ; specific forms of interest representation ; a privileged place for the state in the implementation of public policies at the local level. These characteristics make up a specific "public space ", a set of images of the world as well as a method of interest confrontation. In the 1980s, this model was questioned as a consequence of two basic developments : 1 ) the émergence on the European level of a new dominant norm, that of the market, which leads to a transformation of the state's main operational modes, and 2) decentralization, which changes completely the relationship of the state to its component territories. These two changes, which reflect the emergence of a new public European space, converge to challenge the centrality of the state in social mediation and to destabilize the chains of corporatist representation.Keywords
