Recensione:
Sudhir Hazareesingh is Official Fellow and Tutor in Politics at Balliol College, Oxford, and author of Intellectuals and the French Communist Party: Disillusion and Decline (Oxford, 1991).
the book continually beguiles the reader by the skill and economy with which it explains complex matters in a way that is both intelligible to the relative newcomer to French politics and is a lesson to seasoned travellers on how to combine simplicity of exposition with fidelity to the subtleties of the subject ... this book is a valuable addition to the surprisingly lean list of works that successfully make sense of political traditions of the last two centuries in France without oversimplification or distortion. It would seem destined for a long life as staple student reading. (French History)
`What Hazareesingh has managed is a work of real quality that engages the study of modern France in three distinctive keys. He selects and discusses, deftly and with illustration, what he sees as the main strands of modern French political culture; he locates these firmly in their history, using that history as a source of enlightenment without slipping into the trap of historicism; and he takes the opportunity to propose some subtle but succinct analyses of the political traditions in question. In short, his book lies at the difficult intersection of political science, intellectual history and political theory and combines the usually disparate approaches of these sub-disciplines with unusual confidence and success ... The result is impressive.'Tony R. Judt, New York University
the author is to be congratulated on the broad coverage he provides...a well written and entertaining book which will be of use to all those with an interest in the developmetn of France in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Always taking care to define his terms, the author presents an incisive and wide-ranging analysis of government, political movements and ideas. ..this is a stimulating work which deserves a wide readership. (The Historian)
`This is a very clear and helpful book, penetrating and succinct.'Robert Gilda, Merton College
`The only currently available book of its kind on the subject and succinctly-written.'B.J. Criddle, University of Aberdeen
`A very interesting book and accessible enough for 1st/2nd year undergraduates.'Nick Hewlett, Oxford Brookes University
`Excellent and well written study. Complements government and institutions oriented texts supremely well.'Raymond Kuhn, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London
`This is an excellent book, written in a lively and interesting way. It should stimulate students at all levels.'Professor Malcolm Anderson, University of Edinburgh
`Excellent background reading for the Politics strand in the School of Modern Languages.'David Curtis, University of Hull
`This is a really interesting and rather different text on French politics.'Paul Webb, Brunel University
