Abstract

This paper aims, on the one hand, at giving a key to understand the contemporary developments of contemporary French administrative law, which has undergone a dramatic change compared to its basic principles set out at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries and, on the other hand, at contributing to a clarification of what neoliberalism actually is. These contemporary developments are illiberal and undemocratic.
