Political Transition From Interactions Between Mass Movement And The Government In France

On the background of French public protests over a century, the paper analyzed the development and transition of French public protests on two typical representative major events– the French Revolution and the May Storm. The paper made a main research on the interaction between the government and the protestors, so as to explore the political transition from the interaction. The article is structured into three parts: the first part is the literature review of theory and historical documents on the French public protests; the second part is the description and analysis of the interaction between the government and the protestors of the two events; the third part, on the theoretical point, is interpretation and analysis of the interaction in three dimensions; then it comes to the conclusion that the contentious politics changed from the disorder to the standardization. In the end, after a difficult and special process of contentious movement, France handled its problem in its unique way.
