	The Politics of France - France.com
		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.
		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.

	Interest-Group Politics in France - Cambridge University Press
		Drawing upon extensive interviews with French interest-group leaders and politicians, Wilson examines the structures and methods of group politics, the perspectives and attitudes of group leaders, and the place of interest groups in the broader pattern of French politics.
		He concludes that neither of the two major conceptualizations of interest-group/government relations is adequate to explain group politics in France.
		Political influence is difficult for groups to develop and, once achieved, is fleeting.

		Worse yet, the trade unions and political parties seem also to have adhered to the principle of republican indivisibility, and were therefore (until quite recently) unable to provide much detail on the participation of women in the membership and internal organization.
		In the realm of formal politics, the analysis of women’s slowly increasing participation is accompanied by the repeated refrain of inadequate and incomplete data.
		There is, nonetheless, some evidence to support the proposition that women in political office “draw on their gender identity to inform their work, and to ‘do politics differently,’” even though not all of them would describe themselves as feminist (p.

		Rather, as one would expect in an era when the barriers between comparative politics and international relations are evaporating, the growing concerns about further European integration undoubtedly hold the key to France's political future.

		Under the new system created by Charles de Gaulle, the President is the preeminent executive figure, who names the Prime Minister and cabinet, which is composed of a varying number of ministers, ministers-delegates, and secretaries of state.
		Mindful that the government might have to take politically costly decisions in advance of the legislative elections planned for spring 1998 in order to ensure that France met the Maastricht criteria[?] for the single European currency, Chirac decided in April 1997 to call early elections.

	HEIDEGGER,FRANCE, POLITICS, THE UNIVERSITY. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This is of course to be expected from France, where Heidegger's reputation has for a long time been that of an untouchable cult figure - a reputation that goes back, and is due in great part, to the unremitting proselytizing of Jean Baufret16 and François Fédier, the former's heir as Heidegger's unconditional French champion.
		In the second part of this essay I will try to deal with Heidegger's thought and politics as they involve the institution in which he spent most of his life, and in which his own political praxis was most visible: the university.
		One way in may be to to examine certain essential concepts in Heidegger's philosophy, or at least to show that some of his presuppositions would inexorably give permission to a totalitarian politics, either on the grand scale of the state or on the smaller scale of an organization such as the university, i.e.

		But recent Parisian political debate has echoed another tradition stretching back to the 18th century: the idea of the French citizen not as a revolutionary — but as a soldier.
		The goal was social and political, for compulsory service would help them to “learn citizenship.” With these words, she hinted at a new stage in a deeper and distinctively French debate between left and right on the idea of la nation armée — “the nation in arms."
		If the political left was often ready to appeal to the memory of 1789, it was not ready to yield 1793 to the right.

		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.
