Pluralist Thought and the State in Britain and France, 1900-25 (Hardcover)

This is the first comparative study of early twentieth-century French and British schools of political pluralism. Surveying the works of thinkers such as J.N. Figgis, G.D.H. Cole, Harold Laski, Edouard Berth, Maxime Leroy, and Leon Duguit, this book is a major contribution to the study of political thought and to the understanding of the relationship between state, groups, and individuals in democratic societies.
