The Employment and Strategies of Local Government Managers in a New Institutional Context

The Employment and Strategies of Local Government Managers in a New Institutional Context - 2012.
9
The increased politicization of local government action and civil service employment introduced by the 1987 French law 87-529 put the concept of secure employment into perspective and changed the career path of senior civil servants at local and regional levels. Very quickly, concerns about employment overshadowed those regarding career, even though this idea was well entrenched in the French civil service. Elected representatives and directors-general of services are interdependent, a relationship that has been redefined. This institutional change gives rise to a new approach to exercising the profession of general director of services. Given the higher degree of employment instability for managers of local and regional administrations over the past 15 years, they have developed adaptive strategies.
