Hollande Has Nothing Left to Lose

The German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) is Germany’s network for foreign policy. As an independent, non-partisan, and nonprofit membership organization, think tank, and publisher the DGAP has been promoting public debate on foreign policy in Germany for over 50 years.

The DGAP publishes the foreign policy magazine IP. The IP appears in German as a bimonthly print magazine and in English as an online magazine for German and European foreign policy.

IP Journal is the source for a German perspective on important foreign affairs issues, as well as in-depth analysis on central questions of German and European foreign policy from renowned authors and experts in and outside of Germany.Interview with Camille Grand, director of the Fondation pour la recherche stratégique in Paris, October 2014.

Bad figures for trade and unemployment and the worrying state of the public finances: France needs reforms to get out of the present economic crisis – and its beleaguered President François Hollande may end up succeeding against the odds, argues Camille Grand. At the same time, the country has to catch up on international markets and grasp the opportunities of globalization – for which France is better equipped than is often assumed.
