Exnota :: Thematic Network

Objectives
One of the main characteristics of public policy, common to the different countries of the EU and its associated members is to develop priority targeted action programmes following a logic of individualised needs and differentiated of goods and services offered. At the same time, we see, especially in the social policy sphere, a powerful rise in the significant phenomena of provoked and voluntary or wilful rupture with public services: exit and non-take-up. This raises questions regarding the relation between the abandonment of universalism and the adjustment of public services to the needs of citizens. This issue is central to a reflection on the models of development and social welfare in Europe, and with the European policy of eradication of social exclusion. The objective of the Thematic Network EXNOTA is to accumulate knowledge produced on this issue in six European countries (France, Germany, Netherlands Spain, Greece, Hungary), so as to produce a synthesis of methods and types of analyses and compare them in an analytical fashion. It also aims at presenting tools and methods of analysis and of evaluation used at the local or national levels concerning these phenomena.
The Thematic Network has two complementary goals. The first goal is to construct knowledge of the phenomena of exit and non-take-up in Europe that can disseminated. It will firstly present in a synthetic form researches dealing directly or indirectly with these issues. Then, it aims at studying and at presenting follow-through and evaluations tools of these phenomena by administrations or local and national institutions in order to understand how they use these issues to evaluate the effects of political and public services. The second goal is more analytical: from the syntheses done with these different researches and practices, it will compare competing interpretations that aim to explain why the giving up of universalism does not necessarily lead to a better adjustment of public services to social needs.

Objectifs
Un des traits caractéristiques majeurs des politiques publiques, commun aux différents pays membres de l'Union Européenne et associés est de développer prioritairement des programmes d'actions ciblées, suivant une logique d'individualisation des besoins et de différenciation des services et des biens offerts. En même temps, on assiste, notamment dans le domaine des politiques sociales, à la montée en puissance de phénomènes significatifs de ruptures volontaires ou subies avec l'offre publique (phénomènes de défection et de non-recours). Cela interroge sur les rapports entre abandon de l'universalisme et ajustement de l'offre publique aux besoins des citoyens. Cette question est centrale pour la réflexion sur les modèles de développement et de bien-être social en Europe. L'objectif du Réseau Thématique EXNOTA est d'accumuler les connaissances produites sur le sujet dans six pays européens, pour en faire des synthèses et produire des analyses comparées. Il s'agit aussi de présenter les outils et dispositifs de suivi et d'évaluation de ces phénomènes mis en place au niveau local ou national
