At the time of its founding, few predicted that the Fifth Republic
would survive. It is a regime whose obituary has been written
several times over, but which stubbornly refuses to die. Adopting a
chronological framework, this up-to-date study examines how the
regime emerged out of the chaos of the Algerian crisis, how its
political evolution has been very different from that envisaged by
de Gaulle, and why it has endured. Nicholas Atkin explains the
success of the Fifth Republic but likewise illustrates the
underlying problems within it. As the 2002 presidential elections
have shown, although there is little prospect of regime change,
liberal democracy is not in a particularly healthy state. While the
political narrative takes centre stage, Atkin also explores the key
social, economic and international developments which have shaped
the modern history of France and affected its standing both in
Europe and the rest of the world.
