Multilevel Governance and the Challenges of Integration and Coordination in Anti-Poverty Policies: the French Experience Between Change and Continuity

Résumé

This paper addresses the issues of coordination and integration of public action in the field of anti-poverty policies. It is based on a recent analysis of the conceptualization and implementation of the "Stratégie nationale de prévention et de lutte contre la pauvreté " (national poverty action strategy SNPLP) from 2018 to 2021 in France. Indeed, this strategy was intended to be emblematic of a desire to profoundly transform the "governance" of poverty in France. From a new political vision focused on the activation of the resources of vulnerable people , the strategy tries to improve the integration of both traditional sectoral policies (social, education, and public health) and multi-scalar systems of actors (central administrations, deconcentrated administrations, local authorities, and associative actors). However, this strategy faces different major obstacles in the policy-making process. It illustrates the tensions between, on the one hand, mechanisms of intersectorality and territorialization that contribute to giving a form of coherence to the strategy and, on the other hand, sectoral mechanisms and territorial fragmentation of initiatives that weaken it, or at least cause it to lose some of its initial transformative power. Our paper will focus on the variables that explain this tension between policy integration and fragmentation. With regard to the first dimension, we will analyse in particular the reference to the social investment theory, the affirmation of presidential leadership, the creation of an ad hoc administration, and the implementation of a territorial contractualization based on monitoring indicators. In the second dimension, we will highlight the impact of several crises on ministerial and sectoral agendas, the plurality of bureaucratic interests intervening in the policy field of "poverty" and the variation of local systems (local authorities and associative networks) involved in the implementation of anti-poverty policies
