Malcolm Anderson: Conservatives politics in France, 1974 1aEd

1a Ed original en inglés

Sinopsis:

The traditions and attitudes established prior to the last quarter of the nineteenth century were mediated through the new forms of political organisation which slowly came into being under the regime of universal suffrage. From the 1890s until the First World War there was a fairly rigid distinction in parliamentary politics, between Catholics and anticlericals. A great range of issues and events have to be considered in plotting the main changes in Right-wing politics since 1880. Localism and regional differentiation have been compounded by other factors. Political organisations of the Right have tended to lead a precarious existence in a rich and complicated environment. In a general account of Right-wing politics there is an inevitable tendency to give the impression that the Gaullist Party is the long-awaited culmination, the realisation of the old dream of a disciplined conservative party.
