In 1981, the newly elected socialist government of France announced
a septennat. The decentralization reforms, known as the Deferre
Reforms after the then Minister of the Interior and
Decentralization, have changed the politico-administrative
landscape of France. This volume asks what changes - if any -
occurred and looks at the implications for French public
policy-making.

Nuffield European Studies Series editors: Joachim Jens Hesse and
Vincent Wright This series provides students and teachers in the
social sciences and related disciplines with interdisciplinary and
comparative works dealing with significant political, economic,
legal, and social problems confronting European nation-states and
the European Community. It will comprise both research monographs
and the edited proceedings of conferences organized by the Centre
for European Studies at Nuffield College, Oxford. The role of
interest groups in the formulation of EC policy is a central aspect
of the development of the European Community. This book is unique
in providing both an academic analysis of the system and an
insider's view of how lobbying actually works. The first part
examines the consequences of the increasing transference of power
to Brussels in terms of the EC policy process, the activities of
the Commission of the EC as an `adolescent' bureaucracy, and the
behaviour of interest associations at national and European level.
Subsequent chapters look in detail at the wide range of interest
groups involved in lobbying, including business, industry, the
financial sector, and voluntary organizations. The combination of
contributions from academic specialists and practitioners,
including Commission officials and interest group leaders, will
make this book uniquely interesting as a study of a key area of the
evolving European policy process. Contributors: Lynn Collie, Martin
Donnelly, Dick Eberlie, Wyn Grant, Brian Harvey, Robert Hull, Grant
Jordan, Jeffrey Knight, Andrew McLaughlin, James Mitchell,
Jean-Pierre Peckstadt, Jane Sargent
