This volume brings together French and British scholars of France
to analyse one of French politics' most intellectually compelling
phenomena, the presidency of the republic. It examines the
strengths and weaknesses of that leadership as well as the way that
executive power has been established in the Fifth Republic; how
presidential power and the subsequent full scale development of
"personality politics" developed within an essentially
party-driven, democratic and, most importantly, republican system.
Hence the authors in this volume examine the phenomenon of a strong
presidency in the French republican framework. The individual
chapters focus on the presidency and upon the individual presidents
and the way in which they have addressed their own relation to the
presidencies they presided over on top of a range of other factors
informing their terms of office. A conclusion sums up and appraises
the contemporary role of the French presidency within the party
system and the republic. The project has generated a great deal of
interest in the French political studies community.
