		In its Constitution, France declares itself to be an indivisible, laïque [roughly, "secular"], democratic and social republic.
		Under the system created by Charles de Gaulle, the President is the pre-eminent executive figure, who names the Prime Minister and cabinet, which is composed of a varying number of ministers, ministers-delegates, and secretaries of state.
		The tradition in periods of "cohabitation" (president of one party, prime minister of another) is for the president to exercise the primary role in foreign and security policy, with the dominant role in domestic policy falling to the prime minister and his government.

	TCS Daily - Boycott the Boycott
		According to the President of the Mouvement des Entreprises de France, that country's chief trade group, "Certain French enterprises are suffering today from the differences that have arisen among states over the Iraqi question." Similarly, French wine exporters claim reductions in U.S. orders, prompting a tactical meeting of the Federation des Exportateurs de Vin.
		Champions of the "boycott France" movement, as diverse as Bill O'Reilly, Neil Cavuto and Ed Koch, will probably be pleased, but their consumer embargo will punish the innocent more than the guilty - for the same reasons that market-oriented economists have long opposed trade sanctions and tariffs.
		It's worth noting that France is facing serious internal challenges, and Chirac's unexpected election was due to a massive middle-class rejection of the French left because of their support for immigration policies that have led to a rapidly growing and largely unassimilated Muslim population.
