Couverture de France in the New Century: Portrait of a Changing Society par John Ardagh

Résumé

Based on months of new field research, Ardagh's book looks at the Mitterand years, the first Chirac years and the return of the Socialist party. He explores in depth the problems that have yielded a mood of anxiety - corruption scandals, unemployment, racism - but his conclusion is shrewdly optimistic. He examines France's ambivalent role in Europe - integration versus national pride - as well as a wide range of topics from the World Cup and Club Med to the role of women and regional renewal.
