Résumé anglais New public management (abbreviated in French as NGP) is a reforming move-ment which aims to rationalise the functioning of public administration. However, little attention has been paid to the unexpected consequences, though a number of experts have shown that the facts really don't correspond to the results hoped for by the promoters of the reforms. It is permissible to conclude that NGP has contributed to the perpetuation of bureaucracy, even though the aim was to reduce it and make public organisations more flexible. Reviewing a number of the unexpected consequences of the reforms, this article shows that bureaucracy is a form of organisation that knows howto defend itself, and also that the overlapping of the different rulebooks which public agencies are faced with serves to confuse their points of reference and render their organisational briefs unintelligible.
