Fashion and France

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, despite today?s globalized fashion industry, individual country factors, including the relative stability of the country, its political organization, its administrative structure, and its legislative and judiciary systems, play a role in the health of the fashion industry within that nation. The author relates that the overall affect of the political organization of France has many of the stabilizing components similar to that of the United States, which are proven necessary for an individual nation's stability; therefore, the likelihood of France remaining stable governmentally in the next ten years is on par with the United States. The paper concludes that France is equally likely to continue to be a comfortable ?seat? for the fashion industry.

From the Paper:

"A further distinction of the French judiciary is that it has two main branches that divide cases between administrative types (involving government), and the normal civil and criminal cases. As a further "check and balance" measure, judges in the criminal, civil, and administrative courts cannot be removed from their positions without "cause" by the executive or legislative branches of government. Further, like the United States system, the French judiciary refers all appellate cases through a system of higher courts, all the way up to the "supreme court-like" Council of State (founded by Napoleon Bonaparte), which further oversees the legality of governmental decisions."
