520			_aBy means of an Anglo-French comparison, this articles shows the existence atypical forms of public sector work that arwe associated with internal and external coordination, particularly in the conext of locality based partnerships. In the case of rural and urban development in France in the 1980s, such atypical work invovled organizations that were on the fringe of local authorities, a job descrption that allowed for considerable autonomy and, finally, employment conditions that were often insecure. These are the essential components of 'fuzzy' jobs. Similar atypical characteristics can also be found elsewhere and in particualr in contemporary practice for urban regeneration in England. Through a comparison of diverse situations, the article explores various factors that influence these forms of employment. The analysis reveals the heavy impact of the mechanisms for allocating public funds, as well as the difficulties in dealing with certain objectives in public policy. - Reproduced.
