What is "Politique étrangère"?

Our Editorial Policy
Politique étrangère is a quarterly journal of debate and analysis on major international issues: political, economic and social.
Its ambition is to provide economic and political decision-makers, as well as academics, with in-depth analyses of current international events and perspectives on major global debates, and to serve as a reference tool for the long term.
Each issue features a special report on a particular aspect of the international debate, a "Contrechamps" that sheds light on an international issue with two complementary – or contrasting – analyses, and a number of articles devoted to deciphering current issues.
Politique étrangère also devotes considerable space to French and foreign publications on international relations in its "Readings" section.
