Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to determine the extent to
which the graduates of the National School of Administration
(Ecole National d’Administration – ENA) determine
the making of public policy in France. The paper wants to
test four hypotheses. The first one states that there is as a
positive association between the hierarchy of position occupied
by the civil servant and public policy determination.
The second states that the policy influence grows with the
length of the duration of the detached service the civil servant
performs, while the third one assumes the influence on
policy making by the civil servant grows after his return to
the career post. The fourth hypothesis suggests that there
exists a positive relation between the participation of civil
servants in professional and political associations and the
extent of their public policy input. The paper also tries toasses the efficacy of the external controls (Senate, National
Assembly, etc.) and internal controls (Prime Minister’s
Office, Council of State, etc.) of the bureaucracy in order
to determine whether the civil service might dominate the
area of policy determination in addition to its implementation.
In addition, the paper seeks to establish an empirical
profile of the grands corps.
