In Search of France Charles Hoffman Cambridge, Mass, 1963 Hoffman and his colleagues developed the idea of a duality in French political history and culture which revolved around 'change and tradition'. They believed that WW2 allowed for the breaking of the 'Republican synthesis' and allowed for a more dynamic, and yet still highly conservative, form of politics in the Post-War era. They believed that this duality established a creative tension which ultimately allowed planners like Jean Monnet to chart a post-war recovery for France.
