Tocqueville’s Revenge State, Society, and Economy in Contemporary France

About the author

Jonah D. Levy is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley.

Summary

France has long been characterized as a statist or dirigiste political economy, with state “strength” predicated on autonomy from a weak and divided civil society. Levy shows that this disdain for societal and local institutions has come back to haunt French officials.
