In 1981, the French Left came to power with a project to
transform society. By 1983, French economic policy underwent a
dramatic reversal as the government moved from its reform agenda to
an economic orthodoxy that won the accolades of the business press
throughout Europe. What brought on this seachange in orientation
and political philosophy?
Bringing together some of the most renowned scholars of French
politics and society, The Mitterrand Era explores the political
effects of policy change. It examines the transformation in the
composition, organization, and orientation of the French Left under
the presidency of Franois Mitterrand. The essays probe the
breakdown of traditional party and union strategies, the
constraints of party politics, the challenges of economic policy,
the attempts to forge new political discourses, and the new
challenges (focused around issues of race, gender, and ecology) for
the respectable Left.
