Recenzii

'This book examines the impact of globalisation on France which, as one of the oldest nation-states, is highly sensitive to its position in the new world order, both resisting it through anti-globalisation movements and ideologies, and looking beyond the nation-state in the European Union. To adapt the words of one commentator, the nation-state is obstinate, and the French nation-state more obstinate than others. This book will be invaluable to students of contemporary France, as well as to students of globalisation processes in today's world.' - David S.Bell, Professor of French Government and Politics, University of Leeds, UK
'Maclean and Szarka have compiled an excellent edition of chapters on a subject of ever-topical interest. Thanks to the contributors' collective breadth of experience and depth of expertise, the book establishes important links between empirical fact and current research agendas in the social sciences, and offers the reader an invaluable assessment of the limits of France's singularity in international relations.' - Dr Helen Drake, Department of Politics, International Relations and European Studies, University of Loughborough, UK
'Maclean and Szarka have brought together an impressive edited collection exploring the key questions and issues confronting corporate France and its political and business leaders in a world where globalisation, environment and security issues dominate the agenda. In a rigorous analysis, the book linksthe legacy of 'old France' through recent events to rationalise the thinking behind the current strategies France has developed to adapt to this changing world order, particularly in the context of the internationalisation of French business.' - Iain Gray, Chief Executive, Technology Strategy Board, and former General Manager and Managing Director of Airbus UK
'...a very stimulating and invaluable read for anyone interested in contemporary French politics and society, and in the interaction between processes of globalisation and the nation state.' - Nick Parsons, Modern and Contemporary France
'It offers different approaches tackling political, diplomatic, economic, cultural and environmental issues. Consequently, it addresses a wide range of scholars and post-graduates interested in the evolution of France in the twenty-first century.' - Basil Germond, Journal of Contemporary European Studies
