What the paper says

Abstract This article examines the complex system of government decision-making involved in reforming the retirement pension system in France between 2019 and 2023. The reform process included tripartite collective negotiations (state, employers, and unions); inter-union negotiations; parliamentary deliberations; negotiations between parliamentary groups, and between parliamentary groups and the government; and input from experts, all against a backdrop of strikes in the transportation and refining sectors. Drawing on this case, the author offers a number of lessons on the complex process of reforming a public policy within a governmental framework.
