  • The French Debate Over the Bolkestein Directive
    Original Article The French debate over the Bolkestein directive Emiliano Grossmana,* and Cornelia Wollb aSciences Po/CEE, 28, rue des Saints-Pe` res, 75007 Paris – France. bSciences Po/CERI & Max-Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, 28, rue des Saints-Pe` res, 75007 Paris – France. *Corresponding author. Abstract Why did the services directive proposed by Internal Market Commis- sioner Frits Bolkestein lead to such virulent reactions in France? This article examines several potential explanations focusing on political economy, public opinion and the timing of events. While all of these elements contribute to the difficult political context, they are insufficient to explain the importance of the backlash against the directive in France. We therefore focus on party politics and argue that political elites had an interest in exploiting the directive in the context of a leadership crisis within the French socialist party. The case study bears lessons about the domestic potency of European policy issues: they can pose a real challenge to centrist parties, which have insufficiently addressed them in their party platforms. Comparative European Politics (2011) 9, 344–366. doi:10.1057/cep.2010.19 Keywords: service liberalization; France; Euroscepticism; constitutional treaty; EU referendum; Europeanization of party systems Introduction Nobody foresaw the political storm it was going to trigger. The ‘Directive on services in the internal market’, known by the name of the former European Commissioner for the Internal Market, Frits Bolkestein, was one of the first initiatives to start off the Lisbon Agenda, launched in 2000. In order to transform the European Union (EU) into the world’s most dynamic economy, the Bolkestein directive aimed to reduce barriers to cross-border trade in services, which continued to impede the free movement of services.

  • The Government and Politics of France: Fifth Edition
    The Government and Politics of France This fifth edition of The Government and Politics of France offers a fully revised, updated and comprehensive view of the contemporary French political scene based on the work of the leading specialist on France of his generation. It covers such events as the dramatic presidential election of 2002 and includes a major new chapter on France and European integration, culminating in the historic rejection of the European consti- tutional treaty by French voters in May 2005. Although particular attention is paid to the most recent period, the book covers the whole of the Fifth Republic in depth, from its heroic beginnings under de Gaulle to the period of reverses and defeats sustained by successive governments under the Mitter- rand and Chirac presidencies. The contemporary period is placed firmly in the context of those long-standing political traditions which have maintained their power to shape French political behaviour to this day. The long view supplied in this book allows a unique understanding of how the dynamic, confident economic and political power of the early de Gaulle years has become the more hesitant and troubled nation of the early twenty-first century – and of the points of continuity that underlie this development. The Government and Politics of France is the authoritative guide to French politics and is essential for undergraduates and postgraduates with interests in French politics, European studies and political science. Andrew Knapp is Professor of French Politics and Contemporary History at the Uni- versity of Reading. He is author of Parties and the Party System in France (2004), Le Gaullisme après de Gaulle (1996), and, with Yves Mény, Government and Politics in Western Europe (third edition, 1998).

However, in the 1980s and 1990s historians were arguing that the decline of confidence in Marxism, the nature of François Mitterrand’s politics, the growth of expertise and professionalization, the rise of the mass media (especially television) and the more educated nature of the public, were breaking down historic intellectual models.

  • A Directory of British Diplomats: 1900-2011
    1 A DIRECTORY OF BRITISH DIPLOMATS: 1900-2011 CONTENTS : Foreign Office/Foreign and Commonwealth Office: pages 3-68 Diplomatic Missions Overseas(alphabetically by country): pages 69-166 Consul-Generals(alphabetically by city): pages 167-206 Introduction: These lists are a companion to ‘British Ambassadors and High Commissioners 1880- 2010’ on this site. The Notes provided on page 1 of that document apply here also. The principal source used has again been the annual Foreign Office List(from 1965 the Diplomatic Service List). As noted previously however publication ceased in 2006. I have not been able to date to access copies prior to 1917. Additionally I have made extensive use of both ‘Whitaker’s Almanack’ and ‘Who’s Who’. The Foreign Office List contains lists of previous British Ambassadors abroad. Prior to around 1950 the List also included lists of previous British Consul-Generals. To my knowledge what is attempted in this Directory has not previously appeared in print or online. The lists included below involve a degree of selection on my part and may appear, to an extent, to be somewhat arbitrary. I have however tried to include most of the Ministers within British Embassies and High Commissions. The research involved in compiling these lists has been of exceptional difficulty and there will without any doubt be some mistakes and inaccuracies. It is however my hope that sharing the information I have been able to accumulate will be of some use to others. I am only too happy to be corrected where I am in error. 2 Notes: 1. Deputy Under-Secretaries and Assistant Under-Secretaries.

  • British Ambassadors and High Commissioners: 1880-2010
    1 BRITISH AMBASSADORS AND HIGH COMMISSIONERS: 1880-2010 Introduction: These lists have been compiled from the information contained in the annual Foreign Office List (later renamed the Diplomatic Service List ). This invaluable source ceased publication however in 2006. In addition, latterly the annual editions only provided complete lists of the names of Ambassadors for the previous twenty years or so. To compile the lists below I have therefore had to use older copies held in the Edinburgh Public Library Reference Department. Supplementary sources have included the annual editions of Whitaker’s Almanack and “Who’s Who”. There are Wikipedia articles which purport to provide Lists of British Ambassadors to most countries in the world but these lists are in most cases incomplete, particularly for the earlier decades covered here. Notes: 1.High Commissioners are the British representatives to countries within the British Commonwealth. These countries are indicated with an + . 2. It was the earlier practice for Britain to be represented by an Ambassador in only the largest countries. In other countries there was a British Minister. This differentiation was gradually removed and the representation upgraded to full Ambassadorial level, a change which is particularly noticeable in the late 1940s and early 1950s. 3. From time to time, and for a variety of reasons, diplomatic relations with a particular country were broken off or perhaps downgraded. I have tried to reflect these circumstances in the lists by means of an *. 4. Honours and decorations are given for postholders but these are not necessarily those held whilst the individual was in post but are the ‘final’ honours awarded to the postholder.

  • A Comparative Test O F Inglehart 'S Theory O F Postmaterialism
    A Comparative Test o f Inglehart ’s Theory o f Postmaterialism. Kenneth McKenzie, BA (Mod), Dub. A thesis presented for the degree ofPhD at Dublin City University, 2004. Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own composition and has not been accepted in a previous application for a degree. The academic sources of all work other than my own have been specifically acknowledged. Dublin, 28 June, 2004. This thesis is dedicated to my parents, Maud and Dave. Acknowledgments There are too many people to thank individually for their help during this thesis, but here goes.. .Firstly, I’d like to thank DCU for giving me a scholarship, office space and PC. I’d like to single out Cork’s finest, Gary Murphy, for taking a chance on a student who did not have the classical training for a Political Science postgrad. Gary was always approachable and encouraging. Staying within the walls of DCU, I owe a big debt to Robert Elgie, who probably wondered what he had taken on when he became my supervisor. Robert always had to take my vague ideas and bounce them back in cogent form, and his style o f thinking and working have left their mark on my thesis. The family - obviously. Never put pressure on me and always believed in my ability. Thanks to Ma, Da, and Nigel. A special mention for Denise who really drove me on. The office crew - John, Peter, James, Tom, - (and the blow-ins!) were class. Doing research is the most antisocial activity there is, and all too often, the only people who have a clue what you do or care about it are your fellow postgrads.

This is the first interview with Sir David Logan for the British Diplomatic Oral History Programme, Catherine Manning recording. CM: David, we’re going to start in 1965 when you joined the Foreign Office. The very first question I want to ask is what made you think of the Foreign Office as a career? DL: In those days many people, probably mistakenly, but I was one of them, thought that commerce or business wasn’t the thing.
