The French Communist Party in the Fifth Republic
註釋This up-to-date analysis of the French Communist Party sees it as an entirely unconventional political force: not a normal party vying for office, but a Leninist bureaucracy armed with an apocalyptic mission to deliver humanity from capitalism. Its interests have been defined as part of an outpost of a world revolutionary movement; and whilst its strategies may have varied, they have done so in order to serve Soviet foreign policy purposes. D.S. Bell and Byron Criddle trace the history of the Communist Party in France from its origins. They focus in particular on the period since 1958 and explore the Party's unique organizational structures and international loyalties. They examine structure and ideology, relations with the Socialist party, electoral performance, and the 1980's decline in the Party's fortunes. This study will be essential reading for all students of contemporary French history and politics.
