Immutable and changing : the Ministers of the Fifth Republic
Pouvoirs n°36 - Le ministre - janvier 1986 - p.61-78
Although members of Fifth Republic governments are less frequently parliamentarians at the moment of their appointment than were ministers under earlier regimes, they are for the most part politicians embarked on a public career. Whatever the ideological stance of the government to which they belong, both senior and junior ministers have an « aristocratic » profile. At the same time, there are some differences. Before 1981, ministers had often been educated in the grandes ecoles, and came from backgrounds in business, the liberal professions or the top civil service. Since 1981, they have generally been university-educated, and belong to intellectual milieux - or, again, to the higher civil service.
