Public services law.

Summary The evolution of decentralization, the extent of the economic and financial crisis, and social difficulties have put public services back at the center of political and societal debates. Strongly influenced by European Union law, the definition of public services has become more complex and their legal regime has taken on a mixed form, combining public and private law (competition law, consumer law, labor law, etc.). This book is intended for students of law, AES, political science and those preparing for administrative competitions. They will find - a renewed approach to the concept of public service, in the light of European law and particularly the Lisbon Treaty. - a perspective on the modes of management of public services, especially local public services, taking into account the recent laws relating to local authorities, and the consequences that these modes of management may have on the principle of free administration - an in-depth study of the different laws of public service, in particular the principle of neutrality which has become the fourth fundamental law. - a reflection on the situation of the agents working within the public services, who must adapt to the change in management of the activity. Plan : The notion of public service in administrative law The definition of public service The main categories of public services The role of the notion of public service The legal regime of public services The creation of public services The management of public services The suppression of public services.
