| Sumari: | Offices in France under the Third Republic : an uncertain reform of the administration
Between the First and Second World Wars, the question of offices was doubtless one
of the most important topics of French administrative and economic debate. Behind the
diversity of institutional forms involved, the issues raised concerned the administrative
and budgetary organisation of the state and how it would adapt to new economic
functions. The article examines the origin and development of these heterogeneous
administrative structures before and during World War I and during the 1920s. The office
created in 1924 to produce fertilizers, in particular its subsequent misadventures, serve
to illustrate why this new institutional form was contested and to better understand the
task of the Offices Commission in charge of reforming these structures. The commission’s determination to rationalise did not however prevent the creation of new offices,
including the important Wheat Office in 1936. |
