The Regionalization of Youth Training in France

Regional Studies, 2001, vol. 35, issue 3, 259-264

Abstract: This article assesses the impact of the Employment and Training Act of 1993, which enhanced the role of the regions in Youth Training policy making. The changes that have occurred are examined in terms of the concept of governance, which has often been criticized for its lack of rigour. The four previously distinct sub-sectors of Youth Training policy are analysed, revealing significant shifts in relationships within and between them, under the aegis of the regions as local authorities. The article argues that despite the imprecision of governance as a concept, it is a useful analytical tool, focusing attention on the increasingly flexible, variegated modes of competitive co-operation which are emerging in this particular policy domain.
