Download or read book France's New Deal written by Philip Nord and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-26 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France's New Deal is an in-depth and important look at the remaking of the French state after World War II, a time when the nation was endowed with brand-new institutions for managing its economy and culture. Yet, as Philip Nord reveals, the significant process of state rebuilding did not begin at the Liberation. Rather, it got started earlier, in the waning years of the Third Republic and under the Vichy regime. Tracking the nation's evolution from the 1930s through the postwar years, Nord describes how a variety of political actors--socialists, Christian democrats, technocrats, and Gaullists--had a hand in the construction of modern France. Nord examines the French development of economic planning and a cradle-to-grave social security system; and he explores the nationalization of radio, the creation of a national cinema, and the funding of regional theaters. Nord shows that many of the policymakers of the Liberation era had also served under the Vichy regime, and that a number of postwar institutions and policies were actually holdovers from the Vichy era--minus the authoritarianism and racism of those years. From this perspective, the French state after the war was neither entirely new nor purely social-democratic in inspiration. The state's complex political pedigree appealed to a range of constituencies and made possible the building of a wide base of support that remained in place for decades to come. A nuanced perspective on the French state's postwar origins, France's New Deal chronicles how one modern nation came into being.

Book Synopsis Political Economy and International Order in Interwar Europe by : Alexandre M. Cunha
Download or read book Political Economy and International Order in Interwar Europe written by Alexandre M. Cunha and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standard histories of European integration emphasize the immediate aftermath of World War II as the moment when the seeds of the European Union were first sown. However, the interwar years witnessed a flurry of concern with the reconstruction of the world order, generating arguments that cut across the different social sciences, then plunged in a period of disciplinary soul-searching and feverish activism. Economics was no exception: several of the most prominent interwar economists, such as F. A. Hayek, Jan Tinbergen, Lionel Robbins, François Perroux, J. M. Keynes and Robert Triffin, contributed directly to larger public discussions on peace, order and stability. This edited volume combines these different strands of historical narrative into a unified framework, showing how political economy was integral to the interwar literature on international relations and, conversely, how economists were eager to incorporate international politics into their own concerns. The book brings together a group of scholars with varied disciplinary backgrounds, whose combined perspectives allow us to explore three analytical layers. The first part studies how different forms of economic knowledge, from economic programming to international finance, were used in the quest for a stable European order. The second part focuses on the existence of conflicting expectations about the role of social scientific knowledge, either as a source of technical solutions or as an input for enlightened public discussion. The third part illustrates how certain ideas and beliefs found concrete expression in specific institutional settings, which amplified their political leverage. The three parts are enclosed by an introductory essay, laying out the broad topics explored in the volume, and a substantial postscript tying all the historical threads together.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Survival by : Steven M. Zdatny
Download or read book The Politics of Survival written by Steven M. Zdatny and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1990-01-11 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of the general political inclinations of the petite bourgeoisie, and especially its relationship to fascism, is one of the major questions currently facing historians dealing with European society in the past one hundred years. Independent artisans have at best been seen as an anachronism in the industrial age. Often, they are regarded as the social basis of the fascist movements of the 1920s and 30s because of their supposedly reactionary class interests. Unfortunately, such sweeping analyses--by both Marxists and non-Marxists alike--have been based largely on one case, that of Germany. It is France however, that has been considered the pre-eminent nation of the petit bourgeois, and fascism had only limited appeal there. This is the central question Zdatny addresses in this book as he examines the social and political history of the archetypical petite bourgeois, the self-employed craftsmen of France.
Book Synopsis Hendrik de Man and Social Democracy by : Tommaso Milani
Download or read book Hendrik de Man and Social Democracy written by Tommaso Milani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book investigates the intellectual and political trajectory of the Belgian theorist Hendrik de Man (1885-1953) by examining the impact that his works and activism had on Western European social democracy between the two world wars. Based on multinational archival research, the book highlights how the idea of economic planning became part of a wider effort to address an ideological crisis within the socialist movement and revitalise the latter amidst the Great Depression. A heavily controversial figure also because of his subsequent involvement in Belgian wartime collaboration, de Man played a pivotal role in challenging traditional Marxist assumptions about the role of the state under capitalism and in promoting transnational exchanges between unorthodox social democrats across Europe. Starting from de Man’s experience in World War I, the book analyses his departure from Marxism, his elaboration of an alternative social democratic paradigm, his entry in Belgian politics as well as the reception of his thought in France and Britain.

Book Synopsis Jean Monnet: The First Statesman of Interdependence by : François Duchêne
Download or read book Jean Monnet: The First Statesman of Interdependence written by François Duchêne and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2022-08-10 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A brilliant biography of one of the pivotal and least likely creators of a new European world. Monnet’s career in international affairs began with his place on an Anglo-French supply mission to the United States in World War I, flourished in World War II, and had its lasting impact with the postwar Monnet plan for economic renewal in France and his push for Franco-German reconciliation through the Schuman Plan. Monnet had the most extraordinary links to people in power, especially in the United States. Self-effacing, operating usually without formal office and always without direct political ambition, he could effectively mobilize his connections to promote common institutions for a new ‘civilianized’ Europe. Duchêne, who worked with Monnet for ten years, has done vast archival research and illuminates Monnet’s career in its full historical context. More, he offers a comprehensive analysis of Monnet’s basic premises, aims, and inspired, dogged ways of pursuing and often achieving his goals. Duchêne is a splendid analyst and stylist with a gift for the elegant and incisive phrase. The book is long, but so was Monnet’s life. A great achievement.” — Fritz Stern, Foreign Affairs “[This] intelligently sympathetic but in no sense uncritical biography... shows how [Jean Monnet (1888-1979)] this conspirator in the public interest worked with and through others to create institutions from which European unity could grow.” — Jack Hayward, The New York Times “[A] first-rate biography of Monnet by a close collaborator-disciple.” — Max Beloff, The National Interest “In this absorbing, dramatic biography, Duchêne, an Economist correspondent and former aide to Monnet, closely reassesses the achievements of an ‘entrepreneur in the public interest.’ This long overdue biography brings him out of the shadows.” — Publishers Weekly “[T]he best available biography of the founder of modern European integration.” — George Ross, French Politics and Society “Duchêne, who worked with Monnet for the best part of a turbulent decade, provides a fascinating insight into [Monnet] the man, his working methods and the forces that drove him from one challenge to another. This highly-entertaining account of the [European] Union’s formative years is not only accessible to the general reader, but may also offer some much needed inspiration for the current generation of policy-makers.” — Politico “This wise, original and timely book should be read and pondered — not only by anyone interested in Jean Monnet, but also by everyone concerned with the European Union today. Based on personal knowledge, deep reflection and diligent research, it paints an honest, warts-and-all portrait of a quite extraordinary man.” — Richard Mayne, The World Today “[T]his excellent biography provides... an authoritative assessment of Monnet’s role at the centre of many great events, which all future historians will have to take into account.” — Roger Morgan, International Affairs “Duchêne, Monnet’s aide and a correspondent for The Economist, here sets out to chart the remarkable, if somewhat obscure, life of the architect of the European Community and also — a lesser-known fact — of America’s wartime munitions effort... Men like Monnet, according to Duchêne, were able to create the EEC because they were not politicians but enlightened technocrats — a breed with a bad name these days. As this book makes clear, however, technocrats can be a saving grace in periods of turmoil. This is not a very personal book... But it does reveal a complete and satisfying picture of a complex age of transition for Western Europe.” — Kirkus “[U]n travail sérieux et particulièrement honnête... Le mystère de [Jean Monnet] méritera encore de nombreuses recherches mais notre connaissance a progressé grâce à ce livre.” — Philippe Mioche, Politique étrangère

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1971. This book looks at the French educational services. which had been being reformed over the 1960s. The dynamic for change stemmed from population pressures, higher aspirations and students’ dissatisfaction. The author shows how attempts to reform have been limited by administrative, political and cultural restraints. He also explores the whole complex of inter-related professional problems which face the reformers, including the need to revise and modernize the syllabus of work in many subjects, relationships between students and their teachers, and changes in the professional education of teachers. The book will interest all those interested in the working of an educational system and its relationship to the society around it.
