Since the early 1980s, France has transformed its pattern of economic policy-making from a state-led or dirigiste approach to a more market-oriented one and generated a new set of dynamics between French business and government at regional, national, and European levels. Business has become more independent of the central state as a result of deregulation, privatisation, regional integration, and Europeanisation, more interdependent as a result of cross-shareholdings, and more international in consequence of cross-border mergers and acquisitions. State interventionism, where it remains, has become more circumscribed and less directive, targeting firms only in strategic areas or in trouble.
