Les députés, leurs assistants et les usages du crédit collaborateurs. Une sociologie du travail politique

Abstract: Cet article propose une analyse des modes d'organisation des équipes parlementaires et étudie les tâches déléguées par les députés à leurs collaborateurs directs, les assistants parlementaires. L'analyse de la répartition des tâches au sein de ces équipes suggère que l'organisation et la division du travail doivent se comprendre principalement à partir des contraintes électorales pesant sur les députés en circonscription. La majorité des collaborateurs parlementaires y est affectée parce que l'exercice du méti… Show more

“…There is indeed some anecdotal evidence indicating that MPs use this kind of activities to gain more visibility among their voters and, therefore, increase their re‐election chances. Referring specifically to the work in the parliament, through bills, questions and amendments, one French parliamentary assistant explains: “Each time that there is something beneficial and positive done for the constituency, we send some press releases and seek to make it known, even if we did not gain the case” (Le Lidec : 165). Experimental research has demonstrated that this strategy can be effective since MPs who communicate about their bill proposals are seen as more newsworthy (Vos ).…”

“…C’est un domaine déjà bien étudié sous les angles divers du « clientélisme », et dont la réflexion a été récemment enrichie par les travaux sur les permanences des parlementaires dans leur circonscription. Patrick Le Lidec (2008 : 151) a ainsi montré que les collaborateurs de ces élus consacraient 70% de leur temps au traitement des demandes adressées par des citoyens 21 . Eric Kerrouche (2009 : 446-448) a mis en évidence l’importance du rôle de service social tenu par les permanences.…”

“…Legislators believe that spending time responding to constituents' personal needs will increase their chances for re-election (Austin-Smith 1992, Rosenthal 1993, El Kousaifi 1999, Heitshusen et al 2005, Le Lidec 2008. In order to measure casework, scholars like Fenno (1978) have focused on the amount of time legislators spend in their districts, the number of staff allocated to the district, written communications (Cover 1980), and advertisement of casework (Cain et al 1980) 2 among other factors.…”
