The Sarkozy Phenomenon - Imprint Academic

description Reviews Formats

This book seeks to show how religion is controlled by political ideologies, and how evangelism is moulded and manipulated by the demands of the dominant political order of the day. Out of his experience as a Christian in India, the author challenges churches and congregations to participate in political action as an expression of their commitment to evangelism and to a better society.

"The arguments are clearly stated... even if you have only a limited grasp of French history or current-day politics... interesting and thought-provoking and remarkably readable."

"As Nick Hewlett shows, this was not the only rupture that Sarkozy promised. France, he argued, needed to break with years of economic stagnation and free up the economy by reducing state involvement in the labour market, weakening guarantees of the 35-hour week and providing tax breaks for the wealthy to encourage enterprise."

"Although Hewlett's strong argument about Bonapartism has weak legs, there are still significant elements of the Sarkozy phenomenon that make sense when viewed through this lens. "
