CAIRN-INT.INFO : International Edition
English

Since the law of January 2, 2002, French public authorities finance, regulate, and control home care providers for dependent elderly people. Field research in two French departments permitted the author to study resistance to public pricing from the home care providers. Decisions on public pricing seem normative and imposed by the tariff authority. Yet, our field observation reveals different forms of resistance employed by the regulated home care services: technical negotiations established by law, political measures within the General Council, and legal measures. An analysis of the explicative factors of these acts of resistance highlights the conditions of their emergence, as well as the essential influence of this public action tool on the organization of the resistance.
