The Neoliberal Republic traces the corrosive effects of the
revolving door between public service and private enrichment on the
French state and its ability to govern and regulate the private
sector. Casting a piercing light on this circulation of influence
among corporate lawyers and others in the French power elite,
Antoine Vauchez and Pierre France analyze how this dynamic, a
feature of all Western democracies, has developed in concert with
the rise of neoliberalism over the past three decades. Based on
interviews with dozens of public officials in France and a unique
biographical database of more than 200
civil-servants-turned-corporate-lawyers, The Neoliberal Republic
explores how the always-blurred boundary between public service and
private interests has been critically compromised, enabling the
transformation of the regulatory state into either an ineffectual
bystander or an active collaborator in the privatization of public
welfare. The cumulative effect of these developments, the authors
reveal, undermines democratic citizenship and the capacity to
imagine the public good.
