Abstract (English): The French model of performing state administrative tasks below the central level traditionally relies on a dense network of branch offices of state administrative bodies and state functionaries that form so-called deconcentrated state administration. The paper analyses the development of the French deconcentrated state administration in order to deterhnine whether and how the strengthening of local self-government led to modification of the model, and to generate hypotheses on interrelatedness between deconcentration and decentralization. The analysis distinguishes between the periods before and after the 1982 decentralization reform that gave a more important role to local self-government. Because of the resilient administrative tradition, historical institutionalism is taken as a theoretical approach. Developmental trends are categorized into the models of institutional change. Based on the French experience, recommendations on improvement of the Croatian deconcentrated state administration are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract (Croatian): Francuski model organizacije obavljanja javnih poslova na teritoriju tradicionalno počiva na dodjeljivanju poslova gustoj mreži teritorijalnih državnih organa i funkcionara koji formiraju dekoncentriranu državnu upravu, a u manjoj mjeri organima lokalne samouprave. U radu* 1 je prikazan povijesni razvoj dekoncentrirane državne uprave u Francuskoj s ciljem da se na temelju uočenih razvojnih trendova utvrdi je li i na koji način jačanje lokalne samouprave prouzročilo modifikaciju tradicionalnog francuskog modela, a onda i generiranje hipoteze o međuodnosu dekoncentracije i decentralizacije. Pregled je podijeljen na razdoblje prije i poslije decentralizacijskih reformi 1982. koje su značile davanje veće uloge lokalnoj samoupravi u sustavu vlasti. S obzirom na jaku francusku upravnu tradiciju, kao interpretativni okvir uzima se teorijski pravac historijski institucionalizam, a uočeni razvojni trendovi kategoriziraju se u modele institucionalne promjene koje su razvili predstavnici ovog pravca. Na temelju francuskog iskustva daju se preporuke za unapređenje dekoncentrirane državne uprave u Hrvatskoj. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
