It looks at the position of the Prefect and the attempts of governments to reform the prefectoral system. It places the Prefects in their historical context and illustrates how reforms have sought to adapt the Prefect’s role…

Two Views of the Mitterrand Presidency (1981–88): Ii
THE AIM OF THIS ARTICLE ON MITTERRAND IS NEITHER TO ‘bury’ him nor to praise him, but rather to assess the impact of his presidency on French politics and French socialism. Any such assessment is inevitably a partial and interim report. The full impact of several socialist reforms (notably those concerning decentralization and workers' rights) might only become apparent after several years of implementation. But in January 1988 Mitterrand is stil…

When examining the reasons for the result of the April‐May 1981 French Presidential election account must be taken both of long‐term social and political trends and short‐term factors such as the impact of the economic conjoncture and the campaign. The personalities, policies, political strategies and tactics of the two major candidates as well as those of their allies must also be examined to explain the disaffection of certain groups with the i…

The French Socialist Party in 1973: Performance and Prospects
IN JUNE 1971, FRANÇOIS MITTERRAND WAS NARROWLY ELECTED, after a bitter contest, to the leadership of the French Socialist Party. By the end of 1973 he was in command of the party. There is nothing new about an ambitious politician taking over and attempting to transform an existing party. Mendts France in the 1950s and Servan-Schreiber, more recently, tried to reshape a weak and divided Radical Party. They failed as a result of their own tactless…
