When the State Meets the Street probes the complex moral lives of street-level bureaucrats: the frontline social and welfare workers, police officers, and educators who represent government's human face to ordinary citizens. Too often dismissed as soulless operators, these workers wield a significant margin of discretion and make decisions that considerably affect people's lives. By combining insights from political theory with ethnographic fieldwork as a receptionist in an urban anti-poverty agency, Bernardo Zacka shows us firsthand the predicament in which these public servants are caught up. Public policy consists of rules and regulations, but its implementation depends on how street-level bureaucrats interpret them and exercise discretionary judgment. These workers are expected to act as sensible moral agents in a working environment that is notoriously challenging and that conspires against them. Pressed to cope with the pressures of everyday work, they often and unknowingly settle for reductive conceptions of their responsibilities. Zacka examines the factors that contribute to this erosion of moral sensibility and what it takes to remain a balanced moral agent in such adverse conditions.--

À l’occasion du bicentenaire de la Révolution française et de la loi municipale de décembre 1789 instituant les communes et les maires, le CESURB-Histoire a lancé une enquête sur “les maires du Sud-Ouest depuis la Révolution". Cet ouvrage présente les résultats d’une première étape de la recherche, consacrée aux chefs-lieux de cantons du département de la Gironde et à la période 1790-1824. L’enquête menée selon la méthode de la prosopographie a poursuivi un triple objectif : dresser le portrait type des hommes qui ont exercé le pouvoir municipal ; mesurer pour les élites locales les continuités et les ruptures au cours d’une époque troublée, entre la Révolution et la Restauration ; tenter d'apprécier l’originalité des maires de Gironde dans l’ensemble national La synthèse montre l'absence de changement brutal magré la diversité des régimes politiques et des modes de recrutement. Les évolutions les plus sensibles sont liées aux renouvellements les plus forts, en 1792 et en 1824. L’originalité des maires girondins se manifeste surtout pour la période révolutionnaire.
