Document

France Votes examines the Socialist victory in the French elections of 2012 from the standpoint of the nation's membership in the EU and a related growing internal political crisis of democracy.France Votes analyzes the French elections of 2012 in the context of a France and Europe in crisis. With regard to the economy, Irwin Wall describes the ways in which the country's adherence to the common currency in the Eurozone has stripped France of its freedom of manouver. France Votes shows how a European-wide economic crisis was reflected in political crisis at home and the rise of new political extremism combined with mass disaffection from politics altogether. The result of all of this, posits Wall, is that France has become a no-choice democracy.

520 1 $a This is an impressive achievement and essential reading for anyone interested in today's France, its relations with the European Community and its economic challenges. - John Munholland, University of Minnesota, USA By placing the politicians, parties, and policy dilemmas of the 2012 French elections in a deeper history of the European Union and the Fifth French Republic, Irwin Wall has produced a major new contemporary history of France. - Herrick Chapman, New York University, USA Irwin Wall has given us another wonderful book, grounded in meticulous research. France Votes will appeal not only to Francophiles, but to scholars of contemporary France, and to specialists interested in how the electoral process functions in a twenty-first century democracy. - David L. Schalk, Vassar College, USA Irwin Wall's knowledge of the contemporary French political and economic landscape allows him to use the pivotal elections of 2012 as a focal point for his remarkable survey. While the complexity and significance of the elections are made clear, the book places events in a larger European and global context. - Leslie Derfler, Florida Atlantic University, USA.
