French Democracy in Distress

Challenges and Opportunities in French Politics

Palgrave MacMillan (French politics, society and culture), 2025

Authoritarian populism is challenging contemporary democracies, raising concerns about their resilience.

French democracy is on a razor’s edge, with mounting citizen frustrations and awaited reforms.
