Political Life Under the Fifth Republic

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The French, by electing in 2017 a new President of the Republic and a new National Assembly, have deeply redistributed the political cards that were until then the political game under the Fifth Republic. In this course, it will be a question of putting into context the political analysis of the way in which the citizens construct their electoral choice, the play of the political forces, their evolution and their recomposition and finally, the impact of the institutions and the political system. The teaching will involve works of political science, law, history and sociology to contextualize political events that shake and shook political life under the Fifth Republic.
