Understanding France


Overview

This concise, comprehensive volume provides a compelling introduction to the politics, society, economy and culture of France. Following on from the success of its predecessor volume, Contemporary France, this thoroughly revised and updated new edition places France firmly in its international environment, exploring the significance of developments from #MeToo to the 2024 Paris Olympics, and assessing France's response to global crises. The book offers: - rich empirical data presented in jargon-free, accessible language; - an up-to-date analysis of the French political landscape today; - an invaluable analysis for students across academic disciplines as well as for general readers. Examining crucial debates in contemporary France, this is a highly authoritative text that offers its readers keys for understanding how France is facing the challenges and opportunities of today's world.
