This book is a study of the joint British and French construction
of Concorde, and their separate projects to build new international
airports in London (the repeatedly abandoned third airport) and
Paris (Charles de Gaulle). Conventional explanations of these
projects, all of which can be seen as 'failures' in some sense,
contrast French professional and rational planning expertise with
the amateurishness of the British. Professor Feldman challenges
such stereotypes, arguing instead that policy failures in the two
countries can be explained in terms of political instability. His
book is unique in developing such detailed, controlled case studies
for the comparison of political systems, and offers new insights
into public policy-making in Britain and France.
