Summary/Abstract |
THE PROCESS of international detente in the latter half of the twentieth century, which included such important events as the signing of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE), the establishment of political and economic relations between some Western and Eastern countries, and negotiations on disarmament and nuclear security, largely determined the further course of world history. The French Republic was among the major actors participating in the aforementioned events. A new monograph by EA. Osipov, France and the Evolution of Detente (1965-1975), focuses on France's role in the process of easing international tensions.

Summary/Abstract |
JACQUES CHIRAC, the fifth President of the Fifth Republic, the most prominent French politician of the turn of the 21st century, during his 40-year long political career, climbed the ladder from young deputy of the National Assembly to wise and experienced President of the Republic occupying the highest state post for two terms. Twenty-five years ago, in 1995, when Chirac was elected president, the International Affairs journal published my article about him. Last fall, the famous politician died. This means that the time has come to sum up his achievements at the service of France.

Summary/Abstract |
THROUGHOUT SEVERAL DECADES, starting with the 1970s, political life in France was unfolding as the right-left opposition. Strong political alliances on both sides and the majority electoral system made second rounds of presidential and parliamentary elections inevitable. Dichotomy was spread to the country's entire population: all and every Frenchman referred himself/herself to one of the political flanks, the political bias being normally inherited from the older generations. We can even say that the right or left political preferences have become one of the most important self-identification features of the citizens of the Fifth Republic.
