Description
The Regionalist Movement in France 1890-1914: Jean Charles-Brun and French Political Thought by Julian Wright is a scholarly work that examines the political thought of Jean Charles-Brun, a French politician and thinker who is credited with helping to create and promote regionalism in France. Wright's analysis of Brun's work reveals that he was not only a proponent of regionalism, but also saw it as a way to promote the interests of the French people. Wright's work is important because it provides a fresh perspective on regionalism and its role in French politics.
French regionalism has often been associated with the political right. Julian Wright's fresh analysis of regionalist political thought overturns that assumption. Through this intellectual biography, Wright unpacks regionalism's broad appeal and helps to explain the important role it plays in modern French politics.
