France: a long tradition of Centralization
The decentralization process that started in France in the 1980s marks a major break with the tradition of centralization, that has shaped the political and administrative organization of France.
1982: a milestone in the decentralization process → Law of March 2nd 1982: deep reform of territorial organization. Embodies the principle of free administration by territorial authorities (22 regions, 101 departments, 36700 municipalities)
→ Transfer of responsibilities; more autonomy; enshrined in the Constitution
2003: 2nd act of Decentralization → Constitutional law – new and broader transfer of responsibilities Decentralization is enshrined in the Constitution (art. 1)
2012-2014: new stakes of Decentralization → stakes: simplification of the local institutional landscape (“millefeuille territorial”)
→ Goals: simplification, clarification, pooling resources, public expenditure reduction, grassroots democracy. Plan: from 22 to 14 regions.

Types of Decentralization
Managerial or Administrative Decentralization :
→ usually takes the form of performance management with management by objectives (MBO).
→ classical managerial strategy for reconciling flexibility and accountability in PES organisations
→ common denominator of diverse intra-organisational decentralisation strategies
Political Decentralization :
→ lower tiers of government play a central role in implementation
→ implementation agencies are no longer subordinate departments of a central administration but autonomous political entities

Pôle emploi’s decentralization process: why?
Local network on entire territory needs broader leeway to adapt service offer to local needs
Aids and services matching national priorities that do not always adapt to local stakes
Diversified and complex and local situations
A more adaptable service offer & organization are necessary

Pôle emploi between centralization and decentralization
Strength of a Centralized Public ServiceKey stakeholder in the implementation of national employment policies
Principle of equal treatment of territories
A strength for the staff, the Information System, the procedures, the Labour Market Information System
Opportunities to overcome territorial inequalities on the local Labour Market (very uneven local situations with a highly variable unemployment rate)
A national view
Strength of Administrative Decentralization
Do more for those who need it most
Act closely with local stakeholders and territories
→ design relevant territorial diagnosis at all intervention levels
→ achieve objectives through the adaptation of services according to the specificities of the territories
→ optimize resources
