Les services publics au Royaume-Uni et en France face aux politiques d'austérité
After the 2007-2008 financial crisis, most developed countries first massively supported their banking systems before putting in place various policies for economic reflation. While avoiding the worst, these interventions often led to a sharp increase in fiscal deficits. In 2010, these Keynesian-inspired policies gave way to various measures of fiscal consolidation, particularly in European countries. These have had a greater or lesser impact on public services.
The aim of this volume is first to examine the differences and similarities of public service systems in two major European countries, the United Kingdom and France, and to study the policies of fiscal consolidation they have put in place since 2010. Can the concept of "austerity" actually embrace seemingly different public policies, some of which have reinforced neo-liberalism and new public management, while others are more in keeping with more traditional policies of controlling public spending ? It is then necessary to analyse the effects of these "austerity" policies on public services and users in the two countries, both in terms of services, organization and delegation of public service functions to the private sector.
