DATAR : forty years of history.
Although land management was a government concern at the time of Vichy, it was
not formally organised until 1963. DATAR (Delegation for Territorial Planning and
Regional Action) was set up so as not to get in the way of existing institutions. Before
becoming a bureaucracy it was a light structure with considerable authority, the latter
soon weakening as the administration passed from one ministry to another. Yet DATAR
remained creative and innovating, pulling its weight indirectly by means of foresight,
encouragement and assistance, but never finding favour with government policies. Was
it an administration with a purpose ? What was its role in land planning ? DATAR was
a true political and administrative entrepreneur, a leader of change in administrative
practices, its modes of action moving in parallel with the evolution of the state : it tended
towards centralisation in a centralised state and became more of a negotiator and more
open to governance in the context of decentralisation. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
