World Affairs Forum Great Decisions – "Whither France & the EU in a Time of Resurgent Nationalism"

Europe’s future lies in the hands of French voters this May. How did the history of France and Europe bring us to this moment? After Brexit, a wave of terrorist attacks, and the rise of nationalist populism, how well equipped are the French to tackle the challenges they face at home and on the continent?
