Quatre millions d'euros
" Pierre Bilger replie son parachute ", titrait la presse en août 2003. Une décision sans précédent ! Du jamais vu dans l'histoire des " parachutes dorés " ! Le discret Pierre Bilger, ancien PDG d'Alstom, pendant douze ans l'un des industriels les plus puissants de France, défraie la chronique médiatique. Il est le premier grand patron à rendre ses indemnités de départ : 4 millions d'euros. Plus d'un an après son départ et après ce geste, Pierre Bilger se sent libre de s'expliquer sur son parcours, ses succès et ses échecs. Il le fait avec fermeté et sans complaisance. " Alors que la partie est terminée, le moment est venu de dire comment les choses se sont passées. Réellement. Et tout simplement. Et pour que la compréhension soit complète et parce que l'action d'un homme ne s'explique que par ses racines, je vais raconter toute mon histoire. Ce sera la meilleure manière pour moi de faire la paix avec moi-même et les autres et peut-être d'apporter un modeste témoignage à l'histoire de l'autre siècle, une petite cicatrice dans un océan d'événements.

The Shaping of Environmental Policy in France
Drawing on an extensive range of political, legal and sociological materials, the author presents and evaluates environmental policy-making in France at a time when environmental problems are growing in complexity and gravity. He highlights the range of inputs to the policy process - including popular movements, green parties, interest group representation, EU legislation and international treaties - and evaluates the diverse nature of the outcomes which lead him to conclude that because new developments involve not only changes in policy content but also adaptation of policy style, environmental demands are progressively changing the shape of politics itself.

Continuity and Change in France
First published in 1984, Continuity and Change in France sets out to explore questions by examining the many features of the Giscard presidency which have endured under Socialist rule. Few people predicted the election victory of Francois Mitterrand over Giscard d’ Estaing in May 1981. It was greeted, by his supporters at least, as the first remarkable event in a chain of far-reaching changes which would transform France. However, it has gradually become clear that political change does not come easily to modern France and that continuity is at least as important. This book is at once a valuable review of the 1974- 81 period as well as a revealing account of what has changed since then and what, despite the rhetoric, has not. The contributors cover a number of areas important to French presidency and demonstrate the existence of a surprising degree of continuity in terms of both policy and personnel. They will be welcomed by all students of French politics as providing the basis for a fuller assessment of the successes and shortcomings of the Mitterrand years.
