Levy reveals why economic liberalization is so contested in France, with a comprehensive explanation of economic and social policy since the 1980s. This book will interest scholars and students of political economy and comparative politics, especially those working on economic liberalization, French politics, and the welfare state.
Economic liberalization has been contested and defeated in France to an unparalleled extent in comparison to other leading political economies in Western Europe. Levy offers a historical explanation, centered on the legacies of France's postwar statist or dirigiste economic model. Although this model was dismantled decades ago, its policy, party-political, and institutional legacies continue to fuel the contestation of liberalizing reforms today. Contested Liberalization offers a comprehensive analysis of French economic and social policy since the 1980s, including the Macron administration. It also traces the implications of the French case for contestation in East Asia and Latin America. Levy concludes by identifying ways that French liberalizers could diminish contestation, notably by adopting a more inclusive process and more equitable allocation of the costs and benefits of liberalizing reform. This book will interest scholars and students of political economy and comparative politics, especially those working on economic liberalization, French politics, and the welfare state.

Jonah D. Levy's research focuses on French politics and political economy. He is the author of Tocqueville's Revenge: State and Society in Contemporary France (1999) and The State after Statism: New State Activities in the Age of Liberalization (2006). Levy is the Director of Berkeley's Center of Excellence in French and Francophone Studies.
