Thesis Proposal

“This dissertation focuses on the budgetary decision-making process of the Regions, in a context marked by the increasing scarcity of their resources since 2010. It seeks to characterize the changes taking place in the Regions’ financial sectors as a result of the introduction of budgetary constraints. It compares the instruments, organizational structures, political and territorial variables, and other factors across three regions (Limousin, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, and Alsace) to analyze the mechanisms of convergence and differentiation that lead to decisions on budget cuts. To this end, we are conducting an analysis of the regions’ financial data (based on administrative accounts), conducting semi-structured interviews, and carrying out participant observation over a three-year period (CIFRE contract).”
