Governance, Industry and Labour Markets in Britain and France
The Modernizing State
Overview
This volume brings together well-known scholars from a wide range of disciplines to provide a superb analytical and historical overview of how state policy has affected established economic and labour market systems in France and Britain.
Key Questions Explored
The contributors to this book explore some crucial questions:
how ''dirigiste'' was the French state in reality
why was state intervention more acceptable in France than in Britain
how do the differences in state intervention help to explain the respective economic performances of the two countries since the second world war?
Research and Significance
The book draws on hitherto unpublished primary research by scholars in economic and social history, industrial relations, economics, law, political science, sociology and social policy. As such, it is a timely and welcome intervention into debates concerning the politics of modern labour markets specifically and the role of the state in economic modernization more widely. It will have strong appeal to researchers and students in several disciplines.
