	Regime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The word "regime" (occasionally spelled "régime", particularly in older texts) refers to any system of control, or more specifically a system of government.
		It is frequently used to describe a government headed by a specific person ("the Saddam regime", or "the Salazar regime") or based on a particular ideology ("a communist" regime", "a fascist regime", or "a military regime").
		In science, a regime can mean a particular state of affairs where a particular physical phenomenon or boundary condition is significant, such as "the superfluid regime" or "the steady state regime".

	Geoffrey Nunberg - on "regime change" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		That was the mother of all regime changes, and it gave us the phrase "ancien régime," or "old regime," as a name for the form of government that was about to come to a decisive end.
		But when we call a government a regime, there's usually a sense that its hold on power is insecure or unsteady, as if you could hear the tumbrils rolling in the distance.
		That's the sense that regime has when it's paired with the name of a ruler or a political party, like "the Castro regime" or "the Sandinista regime." Or people sometimes talk about "the Havana regime" or "the Beijing regime," with the implication that the rulers just happen to be squatting in the seat of government.

	Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.1, Entry 59, ANCIEN RÉGIME: Library of Economics and Liberty
		So long as feudalism was a living reality, so long as it constituted a form of government, the people who were oppressed by it more or less, endured it as a necessary evil.
		The result was that hatred between the representatives of the ancien régime and the modern order of things is less profound in those countries or, at least, has not had time to manifest itself in violence.
		The ancien régime is at present a scarecrow made use of in France, by parties, to influence ignorant minds.

		In the history of France, the phrase ancien régime (French for old régime or old order) commonly refers to the social and political system established in France under the old absolute monarchy, subsequently swept away by the French Revolution of 1789 with the fall of Louis XVI.
		The phrase generally applies to France, for no other country, with perhaps the exception of Japan, has had in modern times so clearly marked a division between "the old order" and the new.

	Ancien regime -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia
		To understand the developments of the 18th century and to follow the scholarly debates, one may begin with a definition of the ancien régime.
		The National Constituent Assembly completed the abolition of feudalism, suppressed the old “orders,” established civil equality among men (at least in metropolitan France, since slavery was retained in the colonies), and made more than half the adult male population eligible to vote, although only a small minority met the requirement for becoming a deputy.
		With the fall of the Fascist regime and the end of World War II, there was a resurgence in Italian literature.

	Ancien régime meets high finance in Opus Dei
		Many Europeans (French and Spanish Catholics in particular) are fixated on a romantic and chivalric past (an ancien régime) when the pope crowned kings and arbitrated justice, mercy and goodness, and single-handedly attempted to create the Kingdom of God on earth.
		This is the woof, this longing for and acceptance of a particular social order (as captured in the old Anglican hymn: “Rich man in his castle, poor man at his gate, God made them high and lowly and ordered their estate”).
		At times a fluid read, at times hard work, Their Kingdom Come is quite worth the effort of thumbing through the Rolodex or E-mail address book to see who you know with access to a British book store.

		Notes; 6/1/2004; Pruiksma, Rose A. Aesthetics of Opera in the Ancien Regime, 1647-1785.
		The development of French opera provided a flashpoint for the heated aesthetic debates in seventeenth-century France, most notably the "Querelle des Anciens et Modernes"--a series of literary arguments in which one side held up the forms and language of classical texts as unequalled exemplars, while the other argued that new...

	The Ancien Regime by Charles Kingsley eBook by BookRags
		The rules of the Royal Institution forbid (and wisely) religious or political controversy.
		It was therefore impossible for me in these Lectures, to say much which had to be said, in drawing a just and complete picture of the Ancien Regime in France.
		The passages inserted between brackets, which bear on religious matters, were accordingly not spoken at the Royal Institution.

		Authority in Ancien Regime France: The Understanding of Jacques du Bosc
		This thesis addresses the question of authority in seventeenth-century France and argues that through the writings of Jacques Du Bosc we are able to come to a particular, though recognizably common, understanding of the foundations of authority and how different structures (e.g., political, social, religious) were integrated through the organizing principle of grace.
