Abstract: Abstract What are the key developments that have shaped the political context of contemporary French employment relations? For most non-French observers the most difficult elements to grasp are why in an essentially conservative society the left was in power for virtually the whole of the 1980s and 1990s, why the right appears to be less attracted by neo-liberalism than by neo-corporatism, and why is it that France’s minority unions continue to exercise such dramatic mobilisation capacity?
