Abstract: The review of the research literature shows that sharing services between local authorities is promoted, both by institutions and New Public Management, whereas empirical studies underline mostly nuanced and uncalculated results. This paper deals with sharing services between local authorities, using the concept of decoupling to study intended outcomes, but also direct and indirect effects on the organizational functioning. Through a case study, this paper shows that purposes are not just that the respect for the law and the maintenance of high level of public services'quality but a need to control the organization and make savings. Lastly, measurable and directs effects prove to be small, and indirect ones show up to demonstrate the decoupling's theory.
