Résumé anglais What does it mean to rule by means of competences ? By linking investigations on the ground and theoretical approaches, this contribution shows not only the wide-reaching aims of certain policies but also their range and their effects. Three avenues are explored here : the vocabulary of competence considered as a pow-erful vector of sharing of responsibilities between individuals and the granting or withholding of rights ; the elucidation of the numerous links that are formed between competences, employability and evaluation, that work out in practice as tools, principles and instruments aimed to reinforce the pretension to objectivity of the claim to govern through competences ; the effects of segmentation and pri-oritisation of tasks that follow from certain uses of the idea of competence. In conclusion, we explore several lines of thought and point up the danger of abuses and also our hope for democracy.
