Abstract
Based on the example of two quality processes deployed at the SNCF in the field of the service encounter, the aim of this article is to explore, from a clinical point of view, organizational mechanisms which encourage the denial of work. The norms of services previously defined contributed to the front office agents' denial of work, essentially because the respect of these norms became an ultimate finality. This situation has induced an "annoyed activity" (CLOT, 2009) among the front office agents, owing to the fact that the norms have been perceived as a hindrance to the accomplishment of a high-grade work. In the two previous practical examples, the reality (of work), the real work (in opposition to the prescribed work) and the "real of work" (in the meaning of the psychodynamics of work) have been denied.L'objet de cet article est d'explorer, dans une perspective clinique, les mécanismes organisationnels qui favorisent le déni du travail, à partir de l'exemple de deux démarches qualité qui ont été déployées à la SNCF dans le domaine de la relation de service. Les normes de service qui ont été définies dans le cadre de ces deux démarches ont contribué au déni du travail des agents en front office de la SNCF, essentiellement parce que le respect de ces normes est devenue une fin en soi. Cette situation a fait naître une activité " contrariée " (CLOT, 1999) chez les agents en front office, dans la mesure où ces normes ont été perçues comme une entrave à la réalisation d'un travail de qualité. Dans les deux cas étudiés, le déni a porté simultanément sur : - la réalité (dans laquelle le travail de ces agents devait s'exercer), - le travail réel (par opposition au travail prescrit), - et le " réel du travail " (au sens où l'entend la psychodynamique du travail).

Decentralization and Local Democracy
 in the World : First Global Report by United Cities and
 Local Governments 2008World Bank; United Cities and Local Government (Washington, DC: United Cities and Local Government and the World Bank, 2009)This overall picture of decentralization
 and local democracy in African countries shows significant
 progress at the strictly institutional level. No country now
 publicly opposes the implementation of decentralization
 policies. Local governments exist in all countries, and
 elections are held to elect local authorities. The extent of
 such progress must, however, be set against a number of
 persistent obstacles that continue to hinder a real
 progression of decentralization in Africa. Difficulties
 remain within states concerning the transfer of financial
 resources needed to match the devolved responsibilities.
 Local governments also face difficulties in increasing their
 own resources (aside from state-transfers and grants) at a
 faster pace. Ensuring the availability of qualified human
 resources at the local level and improving public access to
 local services are also fundamental issues of concern.
