Social Change in Modern France is concerned with the radical
transformations which have taken place within French society since
the mid-twentieth century. The authors contended that these changes
constitute a revolution in French affairs as important as that of
1789. From the late 1950s onwards, the traditional social
structures of the Third Republic have been transformed: peasantry
and bourgeoisie have disappeared or mutated; the great national
institutions of church, army, trade unions and schools have
declined or severely weakened, and a late and rapid
industrialisation has wrought profound economic changes. Even the
French Communist Party has become a virtual irrelevance. All these
institutions, so characteristic of French society throughout the
Third Republic, have now ceased to be the object of major conflicts
and tensions. In their stead local institutions, voluntary
associations and the family have acquired a renewed strength and
serve as the basic network for social relations and social life.
