THE CIRCULATION OF INSTRUMENTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE MODELS - ENA - FRANCE

Summary/Abstract: The diffusion of models and instruments of public governance can take different paths and forms. National schools of public administration as the institutions in charge of the training of civil servants in certain countries are very relevant frameworks to observe the way executives are prepared to perform their duty and tasks at different levels and in different fields and how they are confronted with different management tools and models. Based on the case of the French national school of public administration (ENA), this paper describes in which circumstances trainees are exposed to foreign public administration models or practices and why such schools that are supposed to be place for the reproduction and transmission of national public administration patterns can also contribute to the broader circulation of instruments and administrative models.
