In June 2012, the incumbent president’s center-right UMP party was swept out of government in the ensuing parliamentary elections, giving way to a new center-left majority in the National Assembly. This book analyzes the contexts and results of the 2012 presidential and parliamentary elections in France. It assesses the legacies of the Sarkozy presidency that informed the 2012 electoral campaigns, scrutinizing his domestic social and economic policies on the one hand and European and foreign policies on the other. In turn, the elections’ outcomes are also analyzed from the standpoint of various political parties and other institutional interests in France, and the results are situated within the broader run of French political history. Finally, the book examines the principal challenges facing the Hollande administration and new government of Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, and assesses how effectively these have been met during their first year in office.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“[this] collection provides insightful analysis into the specifics of France’s 2012 elections and recent developments in the politics of the Fifth Republic.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e · Choice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“…a work of seminal scholarship and very highly recommended for academic library International Studies collections in general, and 21st Century French Political History supplemental reading lists in particular.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e · MBR Bookwatch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \tNotes on Contributors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eGabriel Goodliffe\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART I: THE PRESIDENCY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Fifth Republic and its Presidents\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJean-François Sirinelli\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eSocialists in the Elysée Palace: from Mitterrand to Hollande\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMarco Gervasoni  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe TV-Presidency: From de Gaulle’s ‘Télécratie’ to Hollande’s ‘Normal Presidency’\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eRiccardo Brizzi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART II: THE POLITICAL PARTIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe UMP after Sarkozy\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eFlorence Haegel\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Year of the Rose: The Socialist Victory of 2012\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eGérard Grunberg  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Pyrrhic Victory of the Radical Left\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePhilippe Buton\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7. \u003c\/strong\u003eIn Search of the Center\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eGilles Le Béguec\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Resurgence of the Front National\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eGabriel Goodliffe\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART III: THE ELECTORAL CAMPAIGN AND HOLLANDE'S CHALLENGES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9. \u003c\/strong\u003eHollande’s Economic Agenda\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJacques Fayette\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10. \u003c\/strong\u003eEurope in the 2012 French Presidential Election\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eRenaud Dehousse and Angela Tacea  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11. \u003c\/strong\u003eHollande and Sarkozy’s Foreign Policy Legacy\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eFrédéric Charillon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 12. \u003c\/strong\u003eImmigration and the 2012 Elections in France\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAriane Chebel d’Apollonia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assessing the Hollande Presidency One Year into Office\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eRiccardo Brizzi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tBibliography\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042218508631,"sku":"9781782385486","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781782385486.jpg?v=1750953492","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/france-after-2012-9781782385486","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
