Abstract:
This book provides a systematic assessment of French Politics under Chirac and of the new political era opened up by the election of Nicolas Sarkozy. It focuses on the breakdown of the traditional statist, integrationist and republican model and the capacity of the French Political system to reform itself to meet the needs of the 21st Century.
