Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal explores French politics, culture, and society through interdisciplinary lenses. Recent articles examine the strategic use of race in postcolonial trade unionism, the historical experiences of mixed-race children in French Indochina, and the intensification of presidential power within the French Fifth Republic. It also addresses contemporary issues such as constitutional rights to abortion, the role of intellectuals in public discourse, and the impact of state power and expertise on postwar reconstruction. The journal also features scholarship on French identity, historical memory, and the evolution of democratic mechanisms.
