Politicians, Bureaucrats and Leadership in Organizations Lessons from Regional Planning in France Politicians, Bureaucrats and Leadership in Organizations Lessons from Regional Planning in France June Burnham French Politics, Society and Culture Series General Editor: Robert Elgie, Paddy Moriarty Professor of Government and International Studies, Dublin City University France has always fascinated outside observers. Now, the country is undergoing a period of profound transformation. France is faced with a rapidly changing international and European environment and it is having to rethink some of its most basic social, political and economic orthodoxies. As elsewhere, there is pressure to conform. And yet, while France is responding in ways that are no doubt familiar to people in other European countries, it is also managing to maintain elements of its long-standing distinctiveness. Overall, it remains a place that is not exactly comme les autres. This new series examines all aspects of French politics, society and culture. In so doing it focuses on the changing nature of the French system as well as the estab- lished patterns of political, social and cultural life. Contributors to the series are encouraged to present new and innovative arguments so that the informed reader can learn and understand more about one of the most beguiling and compelling of all European countries.

  • The Comité Régional D'action Viticole (CRAV): Regional Identity, Violence and the Challenges of Modernisation in the Languedoc (1944-1992)
    The Comité Régional d'Action Viticole (CRAV): Regional identity, violence and the challenges of modernisation in the Languedoc (1944-1992). Andrew William Macrae Smith Submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of PhD Queen Mary, University of London Supervised by Professor Julian Jackson 1 Abstract This thesis analyses the Comité Régional d’Action Viticole (CRAV), an active force in the French wine industry since the mid-1960s that has consistently mobilised militant winegrowers in response to economic crisis. Their role has expanded to represent not only the Midi’s viticultural heritage, but also a peculiar brand of regional nationalism. They invoked the memory of the "Grande révolte" of 1907, which saw hundreds of thousands mobilise against foreign wine imports, financial speculation and ineffective regulation. The legacy of 1907 will be considered in the context of its regionalist significance and the development of political Occitanisme, binding Oc and Vine at the beginning of the century. The prominent role of winegrowing since 1907 had seen a compact between winegrowers, local elites and the Socialist Party develop. Yet, this began to slowly disintegrate as government programmes targeted the amelioration of Languedoc wine from the early 1970s. Whilst this project embittered winegrowers, events like the shootout at Montredon in 1976 and the torching of a Leclerc store in 1984 saw the CRAV breach the frontiers of acceptability and alienate traditional supporters. Demographic change, economic development and the stain of violent protest all chipped away at the CRAV's rebellious appeal. This regional compact will be analysed both to gauge the impact of development upon regional identity and to understand changing conceptions of modernity in the agricultural South.

  • De Gaulle, Moravcsik, and the Choice for Europe Soft Sources, Weak Evidence
    DeLieshout, Gaulle, Segers, Moravcsik, and van and derThe Vleuten Choice for Europe De Gaulle, Moravcsik, and The Choice for Europe Soft Sources, Weak Evidence ✣ We must pay more attention to the quality of evidence. Andrew Moravcsik Introduction Admiration for Andrew Moravcsik’s achievement in The Choice for Europe constitutes the basis of this article.1 Moravcsik had us pretty much convinced that his revisionist “commercial” interpretation of the European integration process was correct. As one of us observed in a brief bibliographic overview of English-language literature on the subject, “this interpretation is most con- vincing where Moravcsik discusses the politics of de Gaulle.”2 Moravcsik’s claim is twofold: ªrst, that in contrast to what everybody else seems to believe, Charles de Gaulle’s European policy was not guided mainly by geopolitical aims but by commercial objectives; second, that de Gaulle and his aides man- aged to conceal these true aims from contemporaries and historians alike through “deliberate deception.” Moravcsik explains that he was able to draw these “overtly revisionist conclusions” because he, as opposed to most students of European Community (EC) policymaking, relied predominantly on hard primary sources. Naturally, The Choice for Europe (TCfE) became a frequently consulted 1.
