Will France remain a great power?

In recent years, France’s geopolitical environment has dramatically deteriorated. With the rise of populism in all corners of the Western world from the Brexit vote to the election of Donald Trump, the migration crisis in Europe as a result of the Arab Spring, the Libya and Syria crisis have created an atmosphere of insecurity . France has also deployed troops to Estonia as part of NATO battalions in response to an emboldened Russia.

Twelve months ago, in October 2017, the Ministry of Defense published a national security strategic review that intended to address the most immediate challenges France faces as well as clear vision of long-term geopolitical and technological trends. I’m Kasim, this is KJ Vids and in this video, we will look at France’s role in the world and the direction in which it is heading. Will France remain a GREAT POWER?
