Research Abstract |
It is commonly said that France since the early modern age, i.e. the beginning of the Bourbon dynasty, is a model of "centralized state." Our research intended to judge whether this argument is true or not by analyzing the documents conserved in three Departmental Archives (Ille-et-Vilaine, Cote-d'Or, Herault) in order to make clear how the institutionalization of administrative system, core of centralized state, was realized at a local level. We conclude, from the research, that there were many conflicts and trials-and-errors about the legitimacy of Governance concerning political and administrative actors.
