«Maquiavel en democràcia» is the political essay by Édouard Balladur, published by Mina in paperback (160 pages, in Catalan).
Was Machiavelli right to see politics as a struggle for power? Balladur analyzes how this contest plays out in democracy: the politician no longer intimidates but seduces, communicates and seeks to please, like Blair, Clinton or Mitterrand. An ironic look at the methods of domination of the 20th century, attentive to means rather than ends.
The Catalan edition, translated from French by Maibel Fernández Boix, is part of the L'arquer collection (Barcelona, 2007). The cover bears the subtitle Mecànica del poder.
Reading for those interested in political analysis and reflection on contemporary power, written by a former French prime minister.
Édouard Balladur is a French politician who served as Prime Minister of France under François Mitterrand from 29 March 1993 to 17 May 1995. He unsuccessfully ran for president in the 1995 French presidential election, coming in third place.
