The Government and Politics of France

Providing an introduction to the working of the major political institutions in France: the presidency, parliament, the government and administrative machinery, local government, political parties and pressure groups, this book is illustrated with documents, tables, figures and exhibits.

The emphasis is on a sense of how political action happens, where power is located and how, and within what constraints, it is used.

The author co-wrote "Hostile Brothers: Competition and Closure in the European Electronics Industry".
