administration publique; politique de réforme; new public management
Abstract :
[en] Since the 1980s we assist at a co-evolutionary redefinition of social structures that its permanence
contributes to legitimate it. In this perspective, the particularities of each modernities are put in an
explicit perspective and raise question because they have lost their own evidence.4 While industrial
modernity is characterized by a discourse on stability, radical modernity is characterized by an
information overload, an hyper-complexity, the emergence of a multidimensional uncertainty
reinforced by the mergence of a multidimensional value configuration and social mobility.5 In the
field of public administration, all these elements converge towards the need to construct some form
of post-bureaucratic or reflexive public civil service structured through flexible and open
management instruments
