      abstract = {Is the Prefect an exception, surviving only in France and  some countries influenced by Napoleon? No! This book tells  the varied stories of the resilience, in most European  States and under different names, of the prefectoral  institution. It is the first comparative book in English  studying these territorial administrators who have a  go-between role in centre-periphery relations and a nodal  role in territorial governance. Gathering a  multidisciplinary team of scholars under the auspices of  the European Group for Public Administration, this volume  offers a fine-grained analysis of 17 national cases,  examines cross-country data, and proposes a theoretical  frame made of a Weberian ideal-type with three variants, to  better comprehend and explain the permanence and changes of  the prefectoral figure. Gildas Tanguy is Associate  Professor at Sciences Po Toulouse and deputy-director of  the Laboratory of the Social Sciences of the Polity  (LaSSP). Jean-Michel Eymeri-Douzans is the President of the  European Group for Public Administration (EGPA), and a  Professor at Sciences Po Toulouse-LaSSP.},
