Présentation

Modalités

Forms of instruction

This course will be assessed by a take-home exam based on a list ot topics and to be handed in at the end of the term. Students will be required to conduct their own bibliographical research on the topic they have chosen. Further details about format and expectations will be communicated in class.

Students will be encouraged to actively participate in order to deconstruct their possible preconceptions of French politics and the claim of a so-called "French exceptionalism". Comparison and share of knowledge regarding the polity they originate from will be more than welcome.
