Political History of France from 1789 to the Present
This course focuses on the political history of France since 1789, from the early democratic experiments of the revolutionary period to the Fifth Republic. Through the study of various political documents, we will follow a thematic and historical path that will lead us to examine the principles of the balance of powers and popular sovereignty, the establishment of republican institutions, the role of the electoral system in political representation, the structuring of the left-right divide, and the emergence of political parties.
As part of this course, students will be required to participate in debates and deepen their knowledge through selected readings.
