		French politics, for the past 30 years, have been characterised by the opposition of two political groups: one left-wing, centred around the French Socialist Party, and one right-wing, centred around the Rassemblement pour la République (RPR), then its successor the Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP).
		The French Republic is furthermore a member of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and of the Indian Ocean Commission (COI), and an associate member of the Association of Caribbean States (ACS).

	The Perverse Logic of French Politics, by Shmuel Trigano
		The structural foundation of the French political community is at stake with the development of a united Europe: a weakening of the state is obviously outlined since the state will be dependent on the European authority (still in formation).
		The centralism of the state is at the foundation of French political culture and it is challenged by the European Union.
		Political speeches have been delivered that oppose the threat to French independence of the European Union, by Charles Pasqua, President of RPR (Rassemblement Pour la Republique), a right-wing party, or by the radical republican Jean Pierre Chevenement.

		The cause of this impotence was an inability of cabinets to govern effectively; their duration was short, and members were often more interested in securing their own political future knowing that in all likelihood the cabinet would not last for long than doing what was expeditious for the nation.
		There were around eight political parties represented in the Assembly at any one time, with a minimum of three needed to gain the requisite majority.

	The French - Why do they hate us? By Chris Suellentrop (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The French are tarred in the New York Post, among others, as the leaders of the "Axis of Weasel." National Review's Jonah Goldberg has made "cheese-eating surrender monkeys"—a Groundskeeper Willie line from an episode of The Simpsons—the rallying cry of Francophobes everywhere.
		Much of the French opposition to American power arose after the fall of the Soviet Union made the United States the only power in a unipolar world: According to one poll, the percentage of the French who viewed the United States "with sympathy" dropped from 54 to 35 percent between 1988 and 1996.
		French identity is similar to American identity—France sees itself as a great nation worthy of power, the birthplace of democracy, and a culture and system of government that the world would be wise to emulate.

	French Women in Politics: The Long Road to Parity -- Caroline Lambert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		French women have only been able to vote and eligible to serve in office since 1944, significantly later than in countries such as the United States (1920, although they could stand for elections beginning in 1788), Britain (1918), Germany (1918), or even in Sri Lanka (1931).
		In 1996, ten prominent women politicians from both sides of the political spectrum published a manifesto demanding that the concept of political parity be enshrined in the French constitution.
		Political parties now have to endorse an equal number of men and women candidates in municipal, legislative and European elections (with the exception of towns of fewer than 3,500 people).

		Where the President's political party or supporters control parliament, the President is in effect the dominant player in executive action, chosing whomever he wishes for government, and having it follow his political agenda.
		However where the President's political opponents control parliament, the President's dominance can be severely limited, as he must choose a prime minister and cabinet reflecting the majority in parliament.
		Where parties from opposite ends of the political spectrum control parliament and the presidency, the power-sharing arrangement is known as Cohabitation.

	"Nineteenth Century French Workers in Politics" by Jason Blundy
		A common misconception about the French Revolution of 1789 is that when the Bastille was stormed and, subsequently, Louis XVI was beheaded, the status quo was shattered and a new era of equality was ushered into France.
		Little of the political activity of these authors is recounted in their stories, which for the most part focus on their early lives, but Traugott is very careful to explain the political significance of each author in his notes preceding the autobiographies.
		Therefore their struggles are not exactly indicative of the struggles and political activity of the majority of lower class workers in France.

		The French parliament passed several amnesties and created new institutions, such as the High Court of the Republic and the Constitutional Council, whose primary duties were to rescue politicians who had been caught red-handed.
		What the outcome of these crises will be, whether they result in a further decline of society and politics or bring forth a solution that is in the interests of the population, depends on whether the working class is capable of intervening with its own independent political program.

		The election in the Department of the Niévre has startled a good many persons from their security who were fully satisfied even a month ago that all that needed to be done to bring about the establishment of the Republic was to dissolve the Assembly, and elect a new one.
		During the past year, however, persons best acquainted with French politics have been assuring outside enthusiasts that they were deceiving themselves, and that in spite of the Republican majorities the Bonapartists were steadily gaining ground.

		The catalyst for the organisation's transformation from an insignificant grouping to a major force in French politics was the emergence of immigration as the central issue in mainstream political debate following the Socialist election victory of 1981.

		Policy and Politics in France is the third volume in the series, Policy and Politics in Industrial States, edited by Douglas E. Ashford, Peter J. Katzenstein, and T. Pempel.
		The politics of French policymaking is an intriguing text of the more pessimistic arguments, because France has succeeded relatively well in a precarious world, even when striking out with highly nationalist measures and defying many Western democracies.
		In this limited sense, policymaking may be the bedrock of French politics and possibly a substitute for those more formal and reliable institutional relationships that most modern democracies have been able to develop.
