Le management stratégique est devenu un outil de gestion presque incontournable dans les organisations publiques, notamment du fait de la généralisation de la contractualisation et de gouvernance à distance. Bien sûr, gérer sur la base d'une stratégie afin d'atteindre des objectifs précis paraît fort raisonnable. Cependant, l'étude du fonctionnement contemporain des organisations publiques démontre que le management stratégique se limite bien souvent à des stratégies de contrôle, conduisant à une bureaucratisation accrue des organisations publiques en lieu et place d'une plus grande liberté managériale. Nous expliquons ce mécanisme en prenant pour exemple le secteur hospitalier suisse en pleine restructuration.

A proposal to establish indicators for the evaluation of municipal councils' socio-cultural policies

How can municipal sociocultural policies stimulate and promote community empowerment, civic creativity or social cohesion? What objectives should be proposed at the municipal level to promote processes of sociocultural community development? How can we identify local needs in order to stimulate community development processes? In response to these questions, our paper proposes a creative solution: indicators to evaluate sociocultural policies. The proposal will enable us to obtain information about our own reality and, at the same time, contribute to producing changes and to outlining possible de intervention strategies for local administrations. The proposal describes a system of creative, flexible and rigourous indicators intended for municipal technicians and politicians interested in evaluating their sociocultural actions and strategies. We present the result of a research process whose methods included validation of the indicators by experts and technicians in or related to sociocultural community development, and the application of this system based on a case study of a Spanish municipality. Among the proposed indicators specific consideration is given to the support of local creators and the promotion of civic creativity, as well as the use, the creation and the articulation of sociocultural activities as strategies to contribute to cultural and civic diversity
