Resumo

Alain Juppé, a former prime minister of France, is competing for the nomination of the country's main centre-right political party, Les Républicains (LR), to stand for election in the spring of 2017 as the LR candidate for president of the French Republic. These three books constitute the linchpins of Juppé's political platform in pursuit of that nomination, which will result from the LR intraparty primary elections in November 2016. Juppé is a pure product of the French meritocratic educational system, including the École Normale Supérieure, Sciences Po Paris and the École Nationale d'Administration (ENA). He was an early protégé of former president Jacques Chirac, who famously described Juppé as ‘probably the best among us’ on the centre-right of French politics. He was twice appointed minister of foreign affairs, briefly held the portfolio of minister of defence and was elected mayor of Bordeaux 1995–2004, a position to which he was re-elected in October 2006 and in which he has served to wide admiration and acclaim.
