Description

"This book provides useful insights into recent changes in the French welfare state and raises a wide range of questions concerning the relationship between the state and civil society in France." —H-STATE Reviews

In a striking new view of privatization and the modern state, this book recounts the involvement of nonprofit organizations in the implementation of socialist policy in France during the 1980s.
