This new version of a leading textbook on French politics offers expert analysis of recent national and international events, discussing their significance for France itself as well as for Europe and the wider world. It covers a wide range of current challenges facing the country under the presidency of Emmanuel Macron and considers how issues such as immigration, multiculturalism and gender and sexual politics fit with wider patterns in global politics.
New to this Edition:
- New co-editor Helen Drake joins the book's experienced team of editors.
- Completely revised to take stock of the presidency of François Hollande, the first half of Emmanuel Macron's mandate, and to look forward to the future of France and its significance to European and global politics.
- Covers a range of new topics including the National Rally (formerly the National Front), immigration, multiculturalism and gender and sexual politics.

TRANSFORMATION
AND
RESISTANCE
IN
FRENCH
POLITICS
concluding
judgements
on
the
European,
external
and
foreign
policy
dimen-
sions
of
transformation.
Overall,
our
collective
analyses
show
scepticism
of
evidence
of
a
shift
in
the
political
system.
As
Evans
and
Ivaldi
(2018,
p. 16)
argue
in
their
analysis
of
the
2017
French
elections:
‘e
very
forces
which
led
to
this
unprece-
dented
electoral
result
continue
to
push
against
the
new
executive
and
its
legislature,
and
(…)
it
is
by
no
means
certain
that
the
renewal
of
French
poli-
tics
that
its
victors
have
claimed
is
indeed
a
renewal,
or
can
form
a
stable
basis
for
a
new
democratic
life
in
the
country’.
We
are
inclined
to
agree
with
this
statement.
To
take
transformation
literally
would
imply
understanding
history
as
a
teleological
process
(with
a
beginning,
a
middle
and
an
end)
rather
than
an
iterative
one
or
as
an
eternal
recommencement.
We
prefer
to
reason
in
favour
of
understanding
French
politics
as
a
complex
eco-system,
influenced
by
specific
political
traditions,
institutional
practices,
political
discourses,
social
forces
and
external
actors
and
actions,
yet
capable
of
adap-
tation
and
perpetual
evolution.
