| Résumé anglais |
Under the heading of local institutions, the French exception - the commune - is frequently cited as an archaism. Repeated reforms dealing with local government in France, and in particular the ATR law of 1992, have thus been presented as measures taken to align France with European norms, the German Kreis being taken as the implicit standard of reference. The author here shows that the legitimacy of the French commune is based on historical developments utterly different from, and opposed to, those in England and Germany, where enclosure acts resulted in the legal despoilment of the peasant community and in early, rapid industrialization. In France, in contrast, the peasantry were raised to the political order. Only a historical analysis makes it possible to comprehend the resistance of the French community confronted today with "European legality". Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
