gradenko_2000 posted:any book recs for the Mitterrand government? I was listening to Swampside Chats and they mentioned how Mitterrand went full socdem but also that it didn't work out well for them, and now my interest is piqued, especially since this is a complete historical blindspot for me The last biography to make a big splash was Mitterand: A Study in Ambiguity by Philip Short in 2014. I have not read the book, however I did read the reviews in both the LRB and the New York Review of Books and they make for a fascinating joint read, imo Republican King by Philippe Marlière in the LRB treats Mitterand as, essentially, a failure - the gravedigger of his own political fortune who undermined his working-class base through capitulation to neoliberal dictates; he concludes by drawing parallels with the later failings of PS under Jospin and Hollande. quote:By the time his second term started, Mitterrand had lost all interest in the possibility of social transformation. He enjoyed the company of other world leaders, such as Bush Sr, Kohl and Thatcher. His foreign policy was increasingly erratic. In 1994 the Tutsi-dominated opposition in Rwanda accused him of abetting the genocide through France’s military support for the Hutu-dominated francophone government, and of allowing Hutu militias to go on a murderous rampage, despite the presence of the French army. Mitterrand maintained that he knew nothing of the ethnic tensions that erupted after the president’s plane was shot down over Kigali, but this remains one of the darkest hours of his presidency. At home he showed little interest in the declining fortunes of his fellow citizens: ‘We have tried everything we could to fight back unemployment,’ he said. ‘There is nothing else we can do.’ Bernard Tapie, a corrupt businessman, was invited to join the government in 1992. Mitterrand manipulated and mistreated successive prime ministers: Michel Rocard, his arch-enemy, then Edith Cresson and finally Pierre Bérégovoy, who committed suicide in 1993, days after the PS had suffered another crushing defeat in the general election. By the time Mitterrand retired from politics in 1995, he had transformed the PS in the space of ten years or so from a left-wing social democratic party into a catch-all centrist party supported by a few activists and with no real purchase on French society. Historians who wish to study Third-Way ‘modernisations’ of European social democracy need not start with Blair: Mitterrand did it first. How Wily Mitterand Transformed France by Louis Begley in the New York Review of Books makes a defense of Mitterand's record from a hard liberal position quote:On balance, his presidency transformed France for the better. He improved French-German relations, took part in the creation of the euro, and counteracted the Socialist allergy to a robust defense policy. In domestic affairs he modernized the Socialist Party, showing it was possible for the left and the right to coexist peacefully. In all likelihood Mitterrand has received too much credit for diminishing the power of the Communists—the decline of Western European Communist parties in the closing decades of the twentieth century has been a generalized phenomenon—and too much blame for the rise of Jean-Marie Le Pen’s Front National. It too has been mirrored by the widespread resurgence of the European far right, and conditions unrelated to Mitterrand’s electoral maneuvers.
