Overview

The French Revolution was not a synonym for chaos; on the contrary, it was precisely within this "disorder" that the contours of modern political order gradually emerged. 法国大革命并非混乱的同义词,相反,正是在"无序"之中,现代政治秩序的轮廓逐渐显现。 This book focuses on the establishment of the public security system in Paris after the Thermidorian Reaction, revealing the process of restoring order and recentralizing state power in the later stages of the revolution. Unlike previous studies that often emphasized the "ascendant phase of the revolution," the author shifts the perspective to the Directory period, spanning from the Thermidorian Reaction to the Coup of 18 Brumaire, examining the formation and evolution of Paris's public security system during this phase. By the end of the Ancien R gime, Paris's public security system was characterized by a multitude of fragmented units and decentralized command structures. Its collapse was marked by the storming of the Bastille in 1789. In the early stages of the revolution, the National Guard took over public security based on the principle of popular self-governance but soon lost control due to the influx of sans-culottes.
