The role of inter-municipal cooperation in the administrative system of France

Summary/Abstract: Inter-municipal cooperation in France is characterized by abundance, a larger number of forms, numerous functions, comprehensive legal regulations as well as a significant integrating effect in conditions of fragmented local government in the first instance and functional defects of higher instance. By integrating the functions of development and spatial planning and many public services, it represents supplement to the local administrative system, i.e. a certain form of territorial reform that is not achieved by imposing from the central level, but through municipal cooperation or is to a greater or lesser extent, channelled or restricted by specific legal intervention such as the mandatory of inter-municipal jurisdiction, regulation of organizational forms, by requesting certain democratic legitimacy and a system of financial incentives. The French example of intermunicipal cooperation can serve other states to enforce a territorial reform in the political “painless” way.
