Abstract

Both the Ford and the Carter administrations regarded the rise of the Union of the Left in the 1970s with suspicion, albeit to a different extent. Ideology, international events and domestic political issues exacerbated the Ford administration’s hostility towards an electoral alliance that was about to bring the Communists into the government of France. Comparatively, the Carter administration expressed less concern. Although it had no sympathy for the Communist Party, the Carter team viewed the rise of a French social-democracy favorably.
