French Relations with the European Union

The collection invites the reader to explore below the surface image of a France troubled by its relations with the EU in the post-Cold War era, and see the dynamics of change in empirical detail. Each chapter offers insights into specific aspects of the France-EU relationship, including:

• the characteristics of Euroscepticism à la française amongst the electorate and political parties
• the dynamics of change in the political, media and legal establishments in their dealings with the EU
• the priorities for labour, business and la vie associative in their relations with French decision-makers regarding the EU.
