« Le diplomate et les Français de l’étranger.
Comprendre les pratiques de l’Etat à l’égard de sa diaspora »
aux Presses de Sciences Po par Christian Lequesne, professeur de science politique au CERI.
Enquête inédite de science politique menée sur trois continents, l’ouvrage met au jour une pratique diplomatique de la France qui reste largement régalienne : l’État continue de considérer ses ressortissants à l’étranger comme ses protégés, mais peine davantage à faire d’eux une ressource productive au service d’une véritable stratégie d’influence.
Responsable scientifique : Christian Lequesne
