Éviter l’inacceptable, douter de l’acceptable. Régulation des pratiques, épreuves de régulation

Abstract

This article focuses on the regulation of the tests of professionalism. Faced with complexity and uncertainty, these regulations are mostly decentralized, procedural and collegiate. They generate contingent, flexible and reversible norms and rules with weak legitimacy. Although they are insufficient to guide action, they do allow professionals to avoid what is obviously beyond the pale and encourage them to discuss the limits of acceptable practice.
