France in the European Union

This text is centred around two themes: the attitude of presidents, ministers, political parties, interest groups, and the public, towards European integration; and the complexity of the adaption processes in many policy sectors which have become necessary as a consequence of EU memberships. Although French inputs may have influenced European institutions and policies, the impact of those policies and the policy processes of the EU have also played a role in transforming many aspects of French politics and economics.
