The politics of french nuclear development

Jeanne Fagnani and Jean-Paul Moatti

Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 1984, vol. 3, issue 2, 264-275

Abstract: France has evolved a nuclear energy policy markedly different from that of the United States and other technologically advanced western nations. The roots of the difference lie in French governmental processes which allow French officials to impose policy in the face of resistant public opinion, in the convergent economic interests of the French nuclear industry and labor, and in the French aspirations for technological achievement. But economic factors-rather than political ones-are obliging France to reduce its plans for future growth of the industry.
