About this book

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 
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 
renewal, 
or 
can 
form 
stable 
basis 
for 
new 
democratic 
life 
in 
the 
country’. 
We 
are 
inclined 
to 
agree 
with 
this 
statement. 
To 
take 
transformation 
literally 
would 
imply 
understanding 
history 
as 
teleological 
process 
(with 
beginning, 
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 
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.
