This book is a source book of facts and interpretations for comparative studies about Public Management of Society, defined as all activities of public authorities. It is the result of a research project, specifically about France, a unique laboratory for Public Management of Society for the last 20 centuries. As shown in this book, historical experiences are relevant for contemporary Public Management of Society. One can find reasoned information about the Fifth Republic (and preceding regimes), public policy making and politics, international relations and the European Union. It is argued that Public Management of Society has to be studies in a co-disciplinary perspective. Rule of Law, Idea of Public Authority and Cultural Intelligence are crucial for Public Management of Society and good government. Many ideas about good government are presented as universal, but each country has to find its own optimum with cultural intelligence. Practitioners of Public Management of Society have to be culturally intelligent to be effective.
