SUMMARY

In the late 1980's France still bore the scars of an extended period of recession, while many of the issues which had divided French society over the previous decade remained unresolved. It was against this background, and in the unusual circumstances of 'cohabiting' with a President drawn from an opposing political party, that Jacques Chirac became prime minister. Compared with his socialist predecessors, he was pledged to a very different set of policies, underpinned by the desire to reduce the state's role in many areas of French life. This account examines a series of key and often controversial issues related to this critical period of contemporary French history; these include privatisation, unemployment, immigration, education, international terrorism and the question of cohabitation itself.Tuppen, John is the author of 'Chirac's France, 1986-88 Contemporary Issues in French Society' with ISBN 9780312044893 and ISBN 0312044895.
