Abstract: This research focuses on the tensions of public governance that can be observed following the reaffirmation of the principle of laïcity at the national level, due to the societal context, and particularly the application of this reaffirmation within a territorial collectivity. Three years of intervention research (focus groups, interviews, participant observation, documentary analysis) will show how managerialism has contributed to the weakening of the value of equality underlying the principle of secularism, and how it may have generated expectations in terms of management tools following the emergence of public governance tensions. The work allows us to draw the outline of an engineering of laïcity as implemented in this community, and offers the first points of reference concerning the application and the tools of this principle in the territorial public service.
