Men Chirac
Jacques Chirac, born on 29 November 1932 in Paris and died on 26 September 2019 in the same city, is a senior French civil servant and statesman. He was President of the French Republic from May 17, 1995 to May 16, 2007. After studying at the Institut d'études politiques de Paris and the École nationale d'administration (ENA), he joined the cabinet of Georges Pompidou, then Prime Minister, as a chargé de mission in 1962. Deputy of Corrèze in the right-wing majority and Secretary of State from 1967, he was appointed Prime Minister by Valéry Giscard d'Estaing in 1974, notably following the call of the 43. Two years later, maintaining poor relations with the latter, he resigned from Matign...
Brian Lenihan
Brian Lenihan was Minister for Finance at the time of the recent and dramatic political and economic crisis in Ireland, and was the lynchpin in the rescue package sought by the Irish Government. The recollections within this powerful new book throw light on Lenihan s political career from its earliest days to his untimely death in 2011. The perceptive and timely contributions arise from those who were directly involved with him at all stages, and include those of high-profile public figures and political insiders from all sides of the Irish political spectrum. From the international stage Christine Lagarde offers her memories of the man and the crises and challenges they faced together. Bria...
Transnational Party Co-operation and European Integration
In this book, first published in 1981, the authors trace and analyse the growth of transnational party co-operation and the factors important to it during the years before and immediately following direct elections. They recognise three major dimensions of transnational co-operation: the Euro-parliamentary groups; the new European party federations; and the national party frameworks in the member states. This title will be of interest to academics and students concerned with European affairs.
Bringing the Empire Back Home
Thirty years ago, an international antiglobalization movement was born in the grazing lands of France’s Larzac plateau. In the 1970s, Larzac farmers were joined by others from around the world in their efforts to prevent the expansion of a local military base: by ecologists, religious pacifists, and urban leftists, and by social activists including American Indians and South American peasant leaders. In 1999 some of the same farmers who had fought the expansion of the base in the 1970s—including José Bové—dismantled the new local McDonald’s. That gesture was part of a protest against U.S. tariffs on specified French exports including Roquefort cheese, the region’s primary market ...
The French Parliament and the European Union
This book explores how the European Union has changed the French Parliament since 1992. It supports the view that the institutional adaptation of both assemblies to European affairs is largely superficial as it lacks a genuine involvement from members of parliament. Nevertheless, the role of backbenchers has changed in the context of European integration. New ways of behaving, thinking and representing have emerged. From specialized representatives to constituency members, from presidential aspirants to Eurosceptic sovereigntists, French national parliamentarians have adapted differently to the EU. Far beyond the sole scrutiny of European draft legislation, the book provides a comprehensive map of this changing environment. It supports the view that the process has been driven by the search for day-to-day emotional gratifications rather than utilitarian strategies.
