Introduction: This chapter is divided in three main parts. The first will
explain why the French political scientists were latecomers on EU
studies. The second will present the reasons why things have
changed so much in the 1990s and 2000s. The last part will give an
overview of French EU studies today, using a specific database of
articles published by French scholars about EU matters in 42 peerreviewed
journals between 2007 and 2010
