Culturally, public policy is justified all the more that cultural products are not like other goods or merchandise are not at all. The creation in this area is neither the identical reproducible or consumable according to traditional schmas that the market imposes. If it is not a public service in the same way as the administrative and other services the population, it is nen no less a public good or a service that dintrtgnral contributes define some values ​​in the country. It is therefore normal that the government financially and morally help cultural creation. One can place the action dailleurs mass educative (school, university, vocational training center) as falling to part of public policies for culture, for part of public policy in favor of Research / development. From this point of view the theories of human capital conoivent lducation as a human investment, the order to monetize ultrieurement its own benefit, Nont quune harbor e limit.

Whether before or after the crisis, the economic justification, social, political and moral therefore not lacking in support of public policy. Still, nor his field, nor their finalits nor their efficacy are clearly tablis. Whereas in the things of a principled point of view, we can say that the field of public policy will continue to slargir: besides the problems related to complexity of the organization of territories n cessitant public interventions, we can imagine the future aisment carries more imprieuses ncessits under such global problems (including environmental) facing courtyard, dj nations and the international community as a whole. Laide survival (and not the development) of some peoples has a moral dimension plantar denvergure.

The moral dimension sinvite also in the debates between economists, sociologists and political scientists (not to mention the strictly political debates) in view of the widening inequalities between populations fringes of a same country and between populations of different countries; inequalities which are justified in one case as in the other partially by purely economic arguments about productivity, for example. A The reverse, these are economic arguments that justify public The intervention in favor of SMEs which, while constituting the main thing of the industrial fabric of a country at the same time what are the purveyors of jobs, face competition from large companies and multinationals. Putting them technical, organizational and Financire is a requirement that governments can not ngliger not only because it can help countries out of the crisis of growth in which they are plongs, but also because which can help in a second time replenish the coffers of the State if it results provide value added surplus.
