About this book

Sarkozy came to power promising radical political and social change while simultaneously developing a presidential persona that melded the public and the personal under the glare of media attention, unparalleled in the French Fifth Republic. This volume provides a detailed analysis of the fit between his ambitions and the outcomes of his presidency

Reviews

Professor Raymond has brought together a range of scholars to examine the nature and legacy of Nicolas Sarkozy's five-year presidency (2007 2012). The study offers the reader a penetrating analysis of developments in a range of policy areas Europe, Africa, diversity, pension reform, and culture. Several chapters also put Sarkozy's presidency in political, historical, and theoretical perspective. Given Sarkozy's unpopularity while President, many commentators saw his term as an aberration from a presidential norm. This book shows that, on the contrary, his presidency had a significant and consequent impact upon the changing nature of the presidency and upon French politics in general.'
