Liberalism and Radicalism in France
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In France, the word is used either to refer to the traditional liberal anti-clericalism or to economic liberalism. The word is used by minarchists; political liberalism in France was long associated more with the Radical Party, leading to the use of the term radicals to refer to political liberals. The French Radicals tend to be more statist than most European liberals, but share the liberal values on other issues. In France and in Southern Europe, the word "liberal" does not include the suggestion of general support for individual rights that it carries in Northern Europe.
