Alistair Cole: French Politics and Society, Gebunden

Klappentext

Fully revised and integrating fresh data, this new edition provides an excellent description of French institutions through the discussion of historical developments, political forces, public policy, and the evolution of important aspects of French society.

Key updates for the fourth edition include:

• extensive and integrated discussion of the Macron presidency
• comprehensive history of the Fifth Republic and its ongoing crisis
• systematically elucidates the paradoxes and dilemmas faced by France in ways that suggest underlying resilience, including thematic analysis on the weakened state of political parties and a new chapter on political trust and democratic malaise
• digestible and streamlined presentations on local government, new analysis on gender and reproductive rights and the inclusion of more illustrations to help the reader recognise specific relationships, movements and complex issues of the public administration.

French Politics and Society is essential reading for all undergraduates studying French politics, French studies, European studies or comparative politics.
