Decentralization is a curious policy for a central government to pursue. If politics is essentially about the struggle for power, why would anyone want to give away the power that one struggled for and won? This book argues that it is precisely party competition in search of power that propels decentralization. Koichi Nakano develops his core argument through in-depth, qualitative research on the politics of reform in France and Japan. Introducing the concept of oppositional policy, he traces the process through which parties in opposition reinvent their ideologies and policy platforms in an attempt to present themselves as the voice of the governed, broaden popular support through the advoc...

Que restera-t-il du quinquennat de Nicolas Sarkozy, le président omniprésent dans tous les médias ? Cet ouvrage dresse un inventaire sans concession des faits et méfaits de celui qui se présentait comme l’ami de tous les patrons de presse et a fini par nommer les présidents des chaînes de l’audiovisuel public. Le « sarkozysme » a largement reposé sur un système de communication proche de la propagande, digne des régimes les plus autocratiques, à la limite de l’autoritarisme. Le système Sarkozy, même s’il apparaît caricatural, a valeur symbolique : il est symptomatique des changements dans de nombreux pays en matière de communication politique. 2012, l’heure du bilan a sonné. Homme du sérail, Michel Diard fait les comptes et dévoile en détail la stratégie de celui qu’il dénonce comme le rédacteur en chef de tous les médias. Solidement documenté et sans langue de bois, son livre noir décortique, au-delà même de la présidence Sarkozy, les mécanismes de contrôle politique des médias par le pouvoir en place, quel qu’il soit.

Dieser Sammelband bietet eine erste Bewertung der großangelegten Territorialreform in Frankreich, bei der die Zahl der französischen Regionen von 22 auf 13 reduziert wurde, um ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu stärken, Verwaltungsabläufe zu straffen und politischen Handlungsspielraum zu gewinnen. Dabei geht es einerseits um verwaltungswissenschaftliche Fragestellungen und die Rolle verschiedener Akteure in einem komplizierten Governance-Prozess. Andererseits stellen sich politikwissenschaftliche Fragen nach der Akzeptanz, der Legitimität und der Transparenz der Reform.
