Abstract enFrance undergoes a decentralization process since the early 1980s. French local administrations experienced significant transformations during this process, embracing three action periods. The decentralization acts enacted in 1982 mark disengagement with administrative uniformity. The second period of decentralization starting the first years of 2000s witnessed important constitutional modifications. Regional administrations gained Constitutional recognition, local referendum has been established, the amendments concerning right to petition, experimentation, local finance and local autonomy has been passed. The third phase of decentralization started since 2010s. The reorganization of metropolitan governance, the transfer of competence to inter-communal cooperation structures concerning urban planification, roles assigned to regions in economic development and employment (economical issues, apprenticeship, European aides and aides destined to private sector), territorial solidarity and reinforcement of democracy were the main themes of this phase. The present article tries to analyze the foremost futures of French decentralization and to underline the main discussions emerged during the ongoing third phase of decentralization process concerning future of departments, regional administration and newly created metropolitan cities. In the last part of the article, the probable influences of French reforms on Turkey are discussed taking into account that Turkey has taken this country as a model in its administrative organization.
