  • L'action collective en Europe. Collective Action in Europe

    Richard Balme, Didier Chabanet et al.BOOKL'Action collective en Europe…2002

    A qui profite l'Europe ? Les intérêts historiquement organisés au sein des États-nations sont largement affectés par l'intégration européenne. Un répertoire d'action assez ouvert s'étend aujourd'hui du lobbying bruxellois aux euro-grèves. Peut-on parler pour autant d'européanisation de l'action collective ? Comment ces mobilisations affectent-elles les clivages et les relations entre les groupes d'intérêt ? Quel éclairage ces processus apportent-…

  • The National Co-ordination of EU Policy: The Domestic Level

    H Kassim, Guy Peters et al.BOOKThe National Co-ordination of EU…2000

    This book is the first of two volumes in which leading scholars examine the way in which member states of the European Union (EU) co-ordinate their European policies. Rather than looking at the ‘Europeanization’ problematic within which the issue is usually addressed, it adopts a broader, more inclusive approach, examining domestic processes and investigating co-ordination in ten member states ––Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece,…

    Vincent WrightARTICLERevue française d administration…2000

    The Fifth Republic : From the Droit de l’État to the État de droit ? ; In 1958 the French legal System was the direct inheritor of a long tradition with its roots in the Ancien régime and which was characterised by a natural distrust of judicial authority.

    The École Nationale d’Administration from 1848-1949 : a Revealing Failure ; Created by a decree in Mardi 1848, the ENA was disbanded after the victory of the right in August 1949.

  • Questions d’un jacobin anglais aux régionalistes français [Pouvoirs, 1981]

    Vincent WrightARTICLERevue française d administration…2000

    Questions from an English Jacobin to French Regionalists ; Regionalisation does not seem to be the System best able to respond to the needs identified by regionalists themselves. According to regionalists, decentralisation should increase administrative efficiency, create a more rational and more just framework for economie action and be more democratie. Analyses show, however, that a centralised State is often more apt at responding to these req…

  • Politique et administration sous la Vème République Political Studies, 1974

    Vincent WrightARTICLERevue française d administration…2000

    Politics and Administration under the French Fifth Republic ; Accusations of political meddling made against the administration in the Fifth Republic merit deeper reflection upon the relationship between politics and the administration. They would appear to be over simplifications, which do not take account of the much more complex realities of the French political and administrative System. The force of tradition, the importance of what is not s…
