Description

This anthology examines the effects of economic orthodoxy on the French left. A decade after the governing left relinquished plans to "transform society", French social actors have indeed changed. They have adapted to economic orthodoxy and to a new political mainstream. Various essays examine the political impact of economic forces, exploring the relationships between left parties and organized labour. The book also looks at new forms of political mobilization around gender, immigration and environmental issues.
