Book
·
OSTI ID:6157341
A study of 50 years of French petroleum policy, this book is a theoretical analysis of public enterprise and a general analysis of the relationship of state to society. The author reveals the French government's lack of actual control over French public enterprises in the oil industry. Demonstrating that French regulatory policy protects petroleum firms, he goes on to show that these firms fail to promote the state's goals and the public interest. French policy is molded by an ideological commitment to managerial autonomy and unfettered profits. The linkage of the state to society by elite recruitment, socialization, and career paths closes all but a limited number of policy options, with a resultant weakening of dedication to public goals. 83 references, 4 tables.
