Paper Summary:

This paper explains that there are substantial cultural, political, and economic "differences" between France and the US, which neither France nor America nor the European Union necessarily wants to exist in their current form as the current century of economic globalization unfolds. The author points out that, despite the explicit borrowing of its democracy from the words of freedom of the relatively young land of America, France, until recently, largely was known for her centralizing tradition in governance. The paper relates that, even in comparison to its sister European states such as Germany or Italy, which also have attempted to tread a middle line between socialism and capitalism since the end of the Second World War, France still has a highly complex and famously bureaucratic civil service system. The paper states that, because of the creation of the European Union resulting in France's adoption of the euro and eschewing of the franc and the standardization of business procedures, particularly in agriculture, France has been forced to change with the changing political and economic times, thus limiting its formerly strong protectionist position.

From the Paper:

"Localities served the national state, rather than vice versa. There are three officially equal structural tiers present in the current French government, according to the national constitution. But while the State does not finance activities outside its own remit, it requires local authorities to help fund some central government projects. The "the task of the prfet", the representative of the State at local districts of government "is consequently rendered more complicated because he finds himself forced to ask for funding for State-run projects", particularly when the state and local parties are different, ideologically and in name."
