Abstract EN:

Classical administrative science and law have limited decision-making, which, in fact, is only a particular aspect of the study of the unilateral administrative act in rational patterns (conception, deliberation, decision) and of the legal procedures of the elaboration of the act. The heteronomy of malian administrative law implies that the approach in our country should also integrate the decision process. But the processes that are outside the juridical problems stricto sensu lead one to investigate on the actors, their strategies and their powers in the soccio-cultural and institutional environment of the decision, because decisionmaking demands not only the implementation of the acts, but above all, the efficiency of administrative action. The administrative act, in mali, the almost exclusive way of administrative action, the multiple political, economic, social and cultural pressures demand a contextual methological approach of the process; an approach which is innoving on the heuristic level. Key words : unilateral administrative act, decision, process, rationality, power, public law, administration, mali.
