Abstract

type="main" xml:lang="de"> Les partenariats entre acteurs publics et privés ont une longue tradition en Europe et aux Etats-Unis. Plus récemment cependant, on a assisté à une utilisation importante de ces instruments, à un nombre accru d'objectifs pour lesquels ils sont utilisés et une ambition croissante de créer des interactions plus stables par exemple en institutionnalisant des partenariats du type des entreprises mixtes. D'un point de vue démocratique, ce développement peut créer des problèmes en termes de gouvernance et de justification. Il faut alors s'interroger sur la mesure dans laquelle de tels partenariats promouvront l'intérêt public et défendront les intérêts collectifs. Les difficultés spécifiques des entreprises mixtes proviennent, d'après nous, de deux de leurs caractéristiques combinées. L'une consiste dans la dérive des valeurs et l'acceptation grandissante des valeurs du secteur privé suite à la vague de réforme du « New Public Management ». La seconde réside dans le mode d'institutionnalisation de ces structures : conservant leur portefeuille de valeurs et réagissant aux besoins sociaux en mutation. L'argument central de cet article est que l'effet combiné de ces deux caractéristiques se traduit par un affaiblissement significatif de la valeur « publique » dans les entreprises mixtes.
