First published in 1980, Paris and the Provinces explores why
reforms of central-local relations in France have been so
ineffectual. Professor Gourevitch discovers the cause in party
politics and personal rivalries. The struggle for dominance among
different parties (Gaullists, Communists, Socialists, Christian
Democrats, Independents and others) and individuals (De Gaulle,
Giscard, Chirac, Mitterand, Marchais, etc.) has influenced
virtually every aspect of institutional reform, from the creation
of the regional administration and delineation of its powers to the
delegation of specific responsibilities to cities and towns.
Conflict over the mechanisms that link local life to the national
government is by no means limited to France. This book closely
examines comparable events in Italy and analyses the factors that
differentiate the strength of 'ethnically' based challenges to
central authority in Britain, Spain, Belgium, Yugoslavia and
Canada, from the relative weakness of such challenges in France,
Italy and Germany. By evaluating the territorial distribution
between the capital and the countryside as both an influence on and
an object of policy, Paris and the Provinces contributes
significantly to understanding the connections between party
politics and policy formation and will be of interest to students
of political science, government, and public policy.
First published in 1984. This book represents a major study of
union responses to the economic crisis of the 1970s and 1980s.
Abjuring governmental or managerial outlooks, it argues that
unions, as representatives of essential producer groups, would be
central to the renegotiation of the economic world. The work also
stresses the importance of situating union responses to the crisis
within the socio-historical evolution of their political economies
during the rise and decline of the post-war economic boom. The
Social Democratic affiliation of unions in Britain, West Germany
and Sweden make them particularly comparable. This title will be of
interest to students of politics and economics.

In Politics in Hard Times, Peter Gourevitch explores the common
political factors that shape economic policy choices. He focuses on
three periods of economic crisis-1873-1896, 1929-1949, and 1971 to
the present-and compares policy choices made in Britain, France,
Germany, Sweden, and the United States.
