This has nothing to with different legal systems or administrative philosophies but is all about politics.

Europe, Germany and France in particular, has a strong history of state involvement in large corporations.

I suppose you could call that an administrative philosophy. To me it sounds like another form of corruption.

While there's nothing wrong with opining that state interventionism is a form of corruption, be warned that people will not infer your custom definition if you drop the word "corruption" in a conversation. I'm in favor of sticking to popular word definitions for the sake of clarity.
