Résumé anglais Prefects and the Construction of the Republican State : from a Military to a Managerial Model The institution of the prefect is the product of a long historical process in two respects. On the one hand, a number of factors have contributed to the professional and social stabilisation of the identity of prefects. Thus, prefects corne increasingly from middle class and public sector backgrounds. Moreover, they have, for the most part, a similar university education, a phenomenon which was accentuated in 1945 with the creation of the National School for Administration (known as ENA) which has also had a real democratising effect upon the prefectoral body. On the other hand, constant vulnerability as regards political power (in matters of nomination, mobility and the loss of office) has not led to the institution being called directly into question. On the contrary, prefects have seen their role both affirmed -notably as a resuit of the 1992 policy of State deconcentration -and in a State of evolution : for the future, they are set to become more managerial, not hesitating to get involved personally in management reforms.
