Résumé : | The first section of this report is dedicated to the presentation of our research topic – early school leaving in average cities – and its relevancy. Also discussed, the choice to investigate a semi-rural urban area in southwest France, namely the city of Agen. In methodological terms, this report relies on three articulated methodologies: documentary analysis, semi-structured interviews (meso and micro level) and an online questionnaire to stakeholders. These methodological tools are primarily used to analyze three traditional dimensions of policy analysis: the range of involved actors and their systemic organization, the policy tools and their nature (participatory, innovative) and finally the cognitive dimension of these policies through a targeted questioning on the information Basis of Judgment in Justice supporting the programs and actors’ functionings. Also, this methodological frame expects to grasp, beyond the official texts and closer to the daily practices of the actors, what frames the actor’s interactions and intervention. We also provide evidence that the relations between local stakeholders are effective and top-down institutionalized. Enshrined in legal provision, the local platforms for monitoring and supporting dropouts (PSAD) provide a new if not innovative basis for this network organization. If local initiatives exist such as the CAI (Commission for integration assistance), the bottom-up strategies are complementary and not competitive with centrally driven initiatives. Local policies show little emancipation from the national level, which itself refers to the EU directives. The common normative framework turns out to be the development of fair institutions before ensuring the capabilities of individuals. Justice here is understood as resulting from the convergence of economic development and social cohesion through an appropriate institutional support. From a normative point of view, and on the basis of the analysis performed here, the capability approach in our opinion deserves further dissemination into the sphere of ESL (Early School Leaving) French public policies. Our results reinforce the normative belief that a better account of the living conditions of people and what they may value would lead to greater use of programs that too often face considerable non take-up. |
