examines the [French Riots] in the context of . The French Government abandoned the great ring cities around - funding their inhabitants but ceding effective control over their lives to community groups such as gangs and mosques. Police and social workers seldom go there, so the inhabitants had to develop their own polity. This is the critical factor. The government is not facing insurgents attempting to wrest control of their people from France. The local gangs and mosques represent the established powers. The government is attempting to regain what it has lost... The French Government faces the same dilemma as that ascribes to the in Iraq: with whom to negotiate, and the lack of common interests to negotiate.
