The End of the French Unitary State?: Ten years of Regionalization in France 1982-1992 (Routledge Studies in Federalism and Decentralization)

In 1981, the newly elected socialist government of France announced a "vast programme of decentralization". The reforms have changed the politico-administrative landscape of France. This volume asks what changes - if any - occurred and looks at the implications for French public policy-making.
