The interaction between politics and administration has generally been ignored by students of bureaucracy. Ezra N. Suleiman, however, views the French bureaucracy as a dynamic and integral part of the French political system. Using survey data as well as historical and contemporary sources, he concentrates on the highest officials and examines their relationships with both the political sector and the society.After identifying the place of the state in French society the author deals with the recruitment of higher civil servants, using comparative data to explain why the high social origins of French civil servants have remained constant. His investigation of the important institutional mechanisms of the central administration stresses that even a centralized and powerful bureaucracy must be seen as a complex of institutions rather than as a monolithic organization. Finally the author deals with the relations of the higher civil servants with other groups in society and with the regime of the Fifth Republic.Originally published in 1974.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

La phase des indépendances latino-américaines des années 1810-1825 fait penser à tort que l'Espagne était une puissance coloniale définitivement déchue. En effet, un empire ultramarin persiste, fort de près de 10 millions d'habitants à la fin du siècle et vivant sur un territoire (Cuba, Porto Rico, les Philippines et la Guinée équatoriale) égal en superficie à celui de la métropole. Il connaîtra une mutation vers un modèle colonial de plus en plus proche des nouveaux empires européens du xixe siècle. Centré sur ce processus, ce livre, montre quelles ressources humaines et financières ont été mobilisées par l'État espagnol pour le contrôle de ces territoires et comment ces ressources étaient un excellent dérivatif pour limiter le mécontentement social des classes moyennes qui ne parvenaient pas à trouver dans la péninsule les débouchés professionnels espérés.

Dr Comber's account of General Templer's administration in Malaya as High Commissioner and Director of Operations (1952-54) during the Malayan Emergency departs from the usually accepted orthodox assessment of his time in Malaya by focusing on the political and socioeconomic aspects of his governance rather than the military. In doing so, Dr Comber has relied mainly on primary and other first-hand sources, including the confidential reports sent from Malaya by the Australian Commission to the Australian government in Canberra, and the private papers of some of the leading Malayan politicians of the time with whom Templer had dealings which have been deposited in the ISEAS Library, Singapore, many of which have not been used before.
The evidence and facts that Dr Comber marshals in this study reflect well the reservations that were often felt about General Templer's authoritarian form of government. While he was a good general and had an impressive military record, his administration in Malaya was marred by a lack of understanding of the background to Malaya's history and the subtleties that are inherent in its culture and way of life which would have enabled him to come to terms more easily with the aspirations of the Malayan people for self-government and independence.
