This week, we take a step back, and look at France on the international stage. For a relatively small country, France wields a lot of diplomatic power and has so for centuries. Once upon a time, French was even considered the language of diplomacy. But France has arguably been losing ground on the international stage in recent years. Its image has been degraded for instance in former colonies in Africa where it was once a key player and this impacts its credibility and influence. It begs the question: is France’s status dropping? How can France continue to matter on the world stage?
