Choosing the Chief: Presidential Elections in France and the United States. Roy Pierce
Who Benefits from Educational Choice? Some Evidence from Europe
Evidence from Britain, France, and The Netherlands is examined to test the claim that educational choice enhances equality of opportunity by empowering parents of modest income. The European experience clearly suggests that, whatever its merits in other respects, educational choice tends to intensify class segregation through the effects of different preferences and information costs. Various means of moderating these effects are considered
The French Welfare State: Surviving Social and Ideological Change
"An excellent introduction to issues surrounding the postwar French welfare state."-Archives "An important and groundbreaking book."-Martin A. Schain, New York University Little noticed by much of the world, France, during the 1960s and 1970s, developed into one of the most generous welfare states in the world. This book describes and explains this spectacular growth, and examines some of the problems that have emerged in its wake. The distinguis…
French Education and the Limits of State Autonomy
IN another of those pendulum swings so familiar to observers and practitioners of political science, the popularity of society-centered models of the democratic policy process recently has provoked a series of counterattacks by proponents of models (Nordlinger 1981; Krasner 1978, 1984; Skocpol 1985; and, on neomarxist theories, Carnoy 1984, and Carnoy and Levin 1985).

Neocorporatism and the politics of French education
In a country where neocorporatist patterns are not well developed in the labour sector, the major French teachers' union, the Fédération de l'Education Nationale (FEN), enjoys unusual advantages of mass membership, extensive delegated administrative powers and established access to a sympathetic government. And yet French education under socialist leadership has been marked by intense conflict. The experience of the FEN illustrates some of the co…
Politicization of Higher Education in Britain and France
The more highly politicized nature of French, as compared to British universities can be explained only partially in terms of such cultural and Political differences as the greater strength of the revolutionary tradition in France and the more conservative tenor of French governments in the l960's and 1970's. Political tensions in French higher education are also in Dart the result of policy choices, notably the greater speed of expansion of enro…

Trust in Political and Nonpolitical Authorities in France
At least within Western democracies, where coercion normally is less esteemed than cooperation, the level of popular trust in government is widely recognized to be an important clue to the effectiveness and probable stability of the political system.l According to the conventional wisdom, conflict and instability in the French political system are attributable, at least in part, to the pervasive mistrust which presumably characterizes social as w…
