This is the first comparative study of pluralist critiques of the state in France and Britain. Highlighting the intricacy and diversity of early-twentieth-century pluralism, a diversity often obscured in the existing literature, Cecile Laborde offers a wide-ranging and highly original survey of an influential school of thought. In an ambitious comparison of the works of British writers such as Figgis, Cole and Laski, and French writers such as Duguit, Berth and Leroy, she sheds light on the national determinants of political theorizing. Drawing on intellectual, social and political history, the book explains how and why French pluralism split into anarchism and corporatism, while British pluralism maintained a precarious balance between groups and the state. Pluralist Thought and the State is a major contribution to the study of national traditions of thought and to the understanding of relationships between state, groups and individuals in democratic societies.
Industry Reviews

'Cecile Laborde has written a remarkable comparative analysis of how six leading British and French writers formulated pluralist ideas in the first quarter of the twentieth century. It embeds their striking views in their contemporary context but is particularly welcome at a time when pluralism is making a comeback in France. Couched in a clear and lively style, it merits clear reading on both sides of the Channel.' - Jack Hayward, Emeritus Professor, Oxford University, Research Professor, Hull University
