Comparing the election of President Emmanuel Macron in 2017 to his immediate predecessor François Hollande, the book explores the reforms, developments and protests that have dominated Macron's presidency. From carbon tax rises for motorists, to the arrival of the Covid-19 crisis, Developments in French Politics 6 explores the limits of presidential authority and brings readers up-to-date with the struggle of the French Republic to adapt to present day norms and trends. The book comprises thirteen original chapters written by renowned experts in the field that draw on new data and thinking to expose and analyse thorny questions of religion, racial prejudice, radicalization and sexual politics pervading twenty-first-century France. These challenges are placed in a broad global context, making this essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the internal complexities of France, as well as where the country fits on the international stage today."--taken from back cover.
