As a leading European nation with a particular state tradition and historical legacy, France has long fascinated foreign observers. In recent decades, the 'orthodox model' of French politics and policy-making has been challenged by powerful forces of globalization, Europeanisation, decentralization, administrative reform and changing patterns of state-society relations. In this compelling examination of French politics since the 1970s, Alistair Cole discusses these key challenges and identifies the key drivers of change. He argues that French-style governance is an untidy affair, rather than a neatly ordered and organized hierarchy, and that, though changes in France are comparable to those in other European Union countries, its governance is mediated by domestic institutions, interests and ideas. The pressures facing France are viewed through nationally specific lenses and mediated in ways that ensure that the French polity retains distinctive characteristics.

À la Libération, le parti socialiste SFIO semble être « le maître de l’heure ». Tout au long de la IVe République, ses quelque 300 parlementaires jouent un rôle décisif dans la vie politique française jusqu’à leur dispersion face à la guerre d’Algérie et à la crise du 13 mai 1958. Cet ouvrage évalue le renouvellement du personnel socialiste au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il retrace les itinéraires de chacun depuis leur entrée en militance, et pointe les difficultés que rencontrent ces notables à afficher une image ouvriériste. Il interroge enfin leur culture politique, marquée à la fois par le traumatisme de la Grande Guerre, les séquelles de la scission de Tours et leur combat dans la Résistance, pour comprendre leurs choix face aux grands enjeux de leur temps. Située au confluent de l’histoire politique et de l’histoire culturelle, cette biographie collective brosse le portrait d’une élite militante, qui dut gérer une profonde crise identitaire entre socialisme et République.

African Affairs' is the top journal in African Studies and has been for some time. This book draws together some of the most influential, important, and thought provoking articles published in its pages over the last decade. In doing so, it collates essential cutting-edge research on Africa and makes it easily available for students, teachers, and researchers alike. 0'The African Affairs Reader' is broken down into four sections that cover some of the biggest themes and questions facing the continent today, including: the African State, the Political Economy of Development, Africa's Relationship with the World, and Elections, Representation & Democracy. Within each section, articles deal with some of the most significant recent trends and events, such as the prospects for democratization in Ghana and Nigeria, the factors underpinning Rwanda's economic success, the rise of political corruption in South Africa, the spread of the drugs trade, the struggle against gender based violence, and the growing influence of China. Each section is introduced by a new purpose-written essay by the journal's editors that explains the evolution of the wider debate, highlights key contributions, and suggests new ways in which the discussion can be taken forward. Taken together, the essays and articles included in the volume provide both a coherent introduction to the study of Africa and a compelling commentary on the current state of play on the continent.
