Politics and Society is the ideal companion for all
students of France and French politics with a strong
reputation for its lucidity and lively exposition of the
French polity. This third edition remains a highly
readable text and offers a broad, critical and
comprehensive understanding of French politics. The book
provides an excellent description of French institutions
and ensures readers access to background information
through discussing historical developments, political
forces, public policy, and the evolution of important
aspects of French society. Key updates for the third
edition include: extensive updates including the Chirac,
Sarkozy and Hollande presidencies; inclusion of
constitutional and state reform coverage since 2008; the
French party system and evolution of the French left and
right; more on France's positioning with regards to
Brussels and the impact of the European economic crisis.
French Politics and Society is essential reading for all
undergraduates studying French politics, French studies,
