France - The 2017 Presidential Election in the French Pacific Territories

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › General Article

Abstract

Delivering a speech in French Polynesia during a visit to the French Pacific territories last year, outgoing President FranÃ§ois Hollande said: France is everywhere in the world. And when they say we go to the end of the world, I say: No. We go to the end of France. Frances global footprint due to its overseas territories is extensive les dÃ©partements et collectivitÃ©s doutre-mer, as they are known, give France a presence in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans, and the largest exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the world. Geographically remote and with relatively small populations, Frances overseas territories are often ignored in presidential elections, but the recent unrest in Guiana has brought them to the fore this year.
