Sažetak
The French model of performing state administrative tasks below the central level traditionally relies on a dense network of branch offices of state administrative bodies and state functionaries that form so-called deconcentrated state administration. The paper analyses the development of the French deconcentrated state administration in order to determine whether and how the strengthening of local self-government led to modification of the model, and to generate hypotheses on interrelatedness between deconcentration and decentralization. The analysis distinguishes between the periods before and after the 1982 decentralization reform that gave a more important role to local self-government. Because of the resilient administrative tradition, historical institutionalism is taken as a
theoretical approach. Developmental trends are categorized into the models of institutional change. Based on the French experience, recommendations on improvement of the Croatian deconcentrated state administration are given.
