Description
FRENCH INSTITUTIONS
Values and Politics
By Saul K. Padover with collaboration from Francois Goguel, Louis Rosenstock-Franck, and Eric Weil
Publishered in 1947, this is one of a group of four related studies on French politics and society planned for the Hoover Institute Studies. This group also includes a study of national character by Rhoda Metraux and Margaret Mead, and two studies of French political symbolism and elites by Daniel Lerner and the RADIR staff. These, together with Mr. Padover's study of French political institutions and values, may give the reader an overview of the dynamics of modern France as a participant in the world political community.
Dean Padover's volume, worked out in collaboration with three prominent French scholars, surveys the conflicting values in the traditions of the French Revolution and French conservatism. It then examines what has happened to these values under the impact of twentieth-century social problems, war, and defeat. This study was initiated as part of the RADIR Project (Revolution and the Development of International Relations), of which
Mr. Padover was a consultant.
