When Fran???ois Mitterrand was elected President in 1981, bringing the Socialist Party to power for the first time in decades, two hundred thousand voters danced around the Bastille. But their euphoria was short lived, and by 1986 the conservatives had regained control of the Parliament. What led to the collapse of socialism in France? Was the approach taken by Mitterrand at fault, or was Socialism doome from the start. As Daniel Singer, Foreign Correspondent of The Nation , points out in his well-informed, perceptive, and often witty analysis, the Mitterrand government was compromised even before the election and, by 1986, it was socialist in name only. But the French experience does not prove that socialism is doomed, Singer contends, only that it must be reinvented, taking an international approach and providing a coherent, long-range plan that will generate wide-spread popular support, without which it cannot survive.
