	Togo Democratic Transition
		However, in November 1991, French policy towards Africa under Mitterand made a diplomatic U-turn (possibly influenced by the late Jacques Foccart and perceived French national interests).
		Mitterand then announced that France would not interfere in African affairs and that each country had to find its own way in democratic reforms.
		After Mitterand's political U-turn over his Africa policy in 1993, it seems legitimate to ask whether French Africa policy once more will sleepwalk into disaster in Togo, like previously over Mobutu in Zaire in May 1997.

	Museums of Paris, France
		While Mitterand was in office, the French government instituted a series of grand projets, thereby assuring that Paris would become the focus of international attention.
		A number of new museums were created, in part to relieve the Louvre of its overcrowding, and to establish thematic exhibits, typified by such locales as the Institut du Monde Arabe.
		Originally built in the 12th century as a royal fortress and palace for Philip II, the Louvre evolved into an immense complex of buildings erected over a span of four centuries, and is now one the world's great art museums.

	Jacques Chirac - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		This power-sharing arrangement, known as cohabitation, gave Chirac the lead in domestic affairs.
		However, it is generally conceded that Mitterand used the areas granted to the President of the Republic - defence and foreign affairs - to belittle his Prime Minister.
		Chirac sought the presidency and ran against Mitterrand for a second time in 1988, but was defeated in runoff elections.
