This concise yet comprehensive volume gives a compelling introduction to the politics, society, economy and culture of France.

Moving beyond popular stereotypes, the book explores the reality of a diverse and changeable France. It examines the significance of developments from #MeToo to the 2024 Paris Olympics, while placing France in its international context and assessing its response to global crises.

The book provides:

• an accessible, jargon-free account informed by the latest data;

• an up-to-date analysis of today’s political landscape;

• an ideal introduction for students and general readers alike.

Building on the success of its predecessor volume 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.

Helen Drake is Professor of French and European Studies and Director of the Institute of Diplomacy and International Affairs, Loughborough University London.
