Letters to an American Friend : the Ten Paradoxes of the French Administration ; The enumeration of a number of paradoxes with regard to the administration in France offers a living panorama of its reality. Thus, while it présents itself as unified and indivisible, the Republic is a site of confrontation between diverging interests ; while acknowledging that there is a problem of co-ordination, govemments do not cease to make it worse ; the dogma of the ‘general interest' is smashed to pièces by practices which are known to exist by everyone and are tolerated ; while relatively non-unionised in general, the country has a public sector in which trade unions play a determining rôle ; admired abroad, the French administration is criticised ferociously in its own country... These paradoxes help to form an assessment of an administration which is not only an institution watching over public policy, but is in itself an arena for the activities of a large part of the political, financial and industrial elite of the country.
