Abstract
Literature on Inter-Organizational Restructuring (IOR) among nonprofit organizations (NPOs) is mostly focused on US mergers. Despite the diversity of its IOR practices, the French context remains underresearched. Based on an online survey sent to a wide sample of NPOs, we highlight the existence of innovative IOR practices in France. The paper explores the diverse forms and motives of IOR that French NPOs carry out in a context of increasingly strong constraining forces. Our findings show that market orientation cannot fully explain the diversity of IOR practices and corroborate the centrality of the social and political perspectives in IOR.

Résumé
La littérature sur les restructurations inter-organisationnelles (RIO) dans le champ associatif est centrée sur des fusions observées aux Etats-Unis. Malgré la diversité des pratiques en matière de RIO, le contexte français est peu connu. Une enquête en ligne sur un large échantillon d’associations met en évidence l’existence de pratiques innovantes en France. L’article explore les diverses formes et motivations des RIO que les associations françaises adoptent dans un contexte de plus en plus contraignant. Nos résultats montrent que les mécanismes de marché ne peuvent pas expliquer toute la diversité observée et corroborent la centralité des perspectives sociales et politiques.

Resumen
La literatura sobre las RIO en el ámbito asociativo se centra en las fusiones observadas en Estados Unidos. A pesar de la diversidad de prácticas en el ámbito de las RIO, el contexto francés es poco conocido. Una encuesta en línea realizada a una amplia muestra de asociaciones pone de manifiesto la existencia de prácticas innovadoras de cooperación en Francia. El artículo explora las distintas formas de RIO que adoptan las asociaciones francesas en un contexto cada vez más restrictivo. Nuestros resultados muestran que los mecanismos de mercado no pueden explicar toda la diversidad observada y corroboran la centralidad de las perspectivas sociales y políticas.
