Invention of public finance management: Drafting and practice of budgetary and accounting law in the nineteenth century (1815-1914)

Abstract

The vote and implementation of the Organic Law on Finance Laws of 1 August 2001 reiterated the importance of public financial regulation and management. For its promoters, the LOLF would introduce management concerns into budgetary and accounting law in an unprecedented way, which is readily presented as unconcerned with considerations of effectiveness or efficiency. This topical development of the LOLF encourages historian, lawyer or politician to take distance by reintegrating these changes in the long term. Through a series of novel studies, this book shows the unfamiliar history of the principles, rules, instruments and practices that have shaped budgetary law and have been able throughout the 19th century, from its refocusing under Restauration to the beginning of World War I. How and through what challenges are the rules of budgetary and accounting law produced? What academic debates do they raise? What is the historical perspective for (re) thinking about the relationship between the establishment of a public finance law and managerial concerns? What practices does this right generate? These are the main questions that this book seeks to answer over the period 1815-1914. The analyses and assumptions put forward in the book stem from the cross-fertilisation of several disciplinary fields, history, law and political science. The first part of a ‘History of Public Finance Management from 1815 to the present’, this volume contributes to a history of the State which is at the heart of a past-present dialogue and which follows the rich and complex thread of the development of public finance management.
