Associations' leaders in France: origins, profiles and trajectories.
Résumé
In France, associations have a significant economic importance and represent the bulk of the non profit sector. Their leaders, because of their animation functions, play a very important role in the dynamism and the renewal of associations, in the definition of their logic of action, and in the types of social demand considered. In addition to their origin and profile, it is useful to explore the characteristics of their associative trajectory, allowing to know partly the formation mode of social “elites”, and specially socio-political ones. Indeed, the associative responsibilities are often considered as “footboard” of local elective positions. It will also make possible the better comprehension of some barriers to equal access to associative leader positions.
