About this book
Reviews
“This new book by an outstanding team of French political scientists uses an innovative panel survey technique to reveal, as never before, the twists and turns of voters as they deliberate on their preferences during the months preceding a major national election. Every specialist on French politics and/or voting behavior would be advised to read this book closely and reflect on future applications of the methodology employed.” (John T.S. Keeler, Dean of the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh, USA)
“This is an illuminating review of the French presidential election of 2012. Granted, this is only one election but the details both illustrate and can help inform broader theories of policy voting, turnout, candidate images, and the like. The book should therefore be of interest….to those interested in French politics, voting behavior, elections, political parties, public opinion, political psychology, and political communications more generally.” (Robert Luskin, Associate Professor, Department of Government, The University of Texas at Austin, USA)
“This book will be welcomed by all European Studies scholars interested in French politics. This substantive and significant volume contains new insights into campaign developments as well as voting behavior in France. This detailed empirical analysis based on an impressive panel study challenges the dominant view of a free-floating French electorate. This book makes an attractive and analytically compelling account of contemporary electoral dynamics in France.” (Marc Swyngedouw, Director Institute for Social and Political Opinion research (ISPO), Center for Sociological Research - KU Leuven, Belgium)
