Métropoles et territoires institutionnels : quelques pistes d’analyse à partir des cas français et italien

Abstract

The creation of the metropolitan institution, both in France (Law MAPTAM) and Italy (law Delrio) links together two referencies usually distinct : the metropolis, a reticular and moving reality, and the institutional territory. This new form of territorialization revisits the original framework of the départements and provincie and the intercommunalités. This process mobilizes the national heritages and those of the decentralization but not the programmatic metropolitan strategy. It is also at a meeting point between two recent trends towards europeanization and recentralization of the public policies imponed by the crisis.
