Stanley HOFFMANN - Are the French governable ?

Pouvoirs n°68 - Qui gouverne la France ? - janvier 1994 - p.7-14

But they are often badly governed, when their leaders and bureaucracy fail to listen to their grievances, and they aren’t good at governing themselves, for reasons already analyzed by Tocqueville and still present.
