Qui sont les opposants de droite et de gauche à l’Europe communautaire et comment comprendre leur développement ? La France offre-t-elle un terreau singulier aux «euroscepticismes » ? Comment la question européenne a-t-elle recomposé le clivage gauche-droite et l’offre politique ? Pourquoi a-t-on tendance à exagérer l’expansion des opposants à l’Eu...
Partie de la contestation d’une taxe sur l’essence, la révolte des Gilets jaunes a fait preuve d’une rare longévité. Comment expliquer cet apparent paradoxe d’une révolte qui dure ? À partir d’une ethnographie comparée de 17 ronds-points répartis dans 7 départements, cet article décrit comment les formes d’occupation des ronds-points ont permis de...
This paper stems from the first sampled and representative survey carried out on the Yellow Vests movement in the French region of Occitania. While scientific literature mainly explores the drivers of internal—social and ideological—cohesion in social movements, our study sheds light on the internal diversity of the Yellow Vests' mobilisation. Our...
The French Yellow Vest (YV) movement was born out of the opposition to an increase in carbon taxation. It has therefore been conventionally depicted as an anti-environmental protest. This article challenges this view, based on a review of scholarship on YVs and on the environmental values, actions and mobilizations of underprivileged citizens. We s...
This first special issue on the Yellow Vests movement (YVM) published in English has three objectives. First, we advocate that this puzzling movement proved to be an insightful research field for scholars to make a plea for mixed methods. By so doing, we bridge the usual gaps between positivist and constructivist approaches. Second, after four year...
The French Yellow Vests movement offers a case study for examining the logics and effects of the avoidance of institutional politics. The movement brought together seasoned activists and a large share of first-time protesters, i.e. social actors with no prior experience in collective action or party politics. Drawing on in-depth ethnographic biogra...
Social movement literature shows that since the 1960s mobilization entrepreneurs have mainly originated from the middle and salaried classes, with strong cultural capital and previous politicization. However, recent mass protests such as the Yellow Vests movement in France have been characterized by unprecedented proportions of members of the worki...
Social movements literature has repeatedly stressed the importance of ingrained dispositions to activism. Scholarship on political participation has pinpointed how socio-economic inequalities largely determine the propensity to get involved in politics. Therefore certain social groups – with little cultural and political capital, and no background...
Following a brief reflection on the theoretical framework used to analyze oppositions to European integration, which are commonly called Euroscepticism, the chapter studies the historical roots and evolution of oppositions to “Europe” in France. The analysis articulates long- and short-term factors shaping the dynamic picture of a hexagonal ‘nation...
Cette note de recherche est issue d’une enquête collective par questionnaire administrée entre novembre 2018 et mars 2019, conduite in situ pendant la mobilisation des Gilets jaunes. Elle se penche sur trois aspects : les difficultés méthodologiques inhérentes à l’enquête par questionnaire dans les mouvements sociaux, les caractéristiques sociodémo...
This research note comes from a collective inquiry based on a face-to-face survey conducted in situ between November 2018 and March 2019, during the Yellow Vest movement. It focuses on three areas: the methodological challenges linked to survey research in social movements; the sociodemographic characteristics of participants and, lastly, their eng...
This chapter describes the diversity and evolution of oppositions to the European Union (EU) in France since the first EP election of 1979, while emphasizing and questioning the specificity of the 2014 European Parliament (EP) election. It explains how the European issue gained saliency, showing the normalization of EU criticism in the French polit...

L’analyse diachronique de la mobilisation des élections européennes par les partis français de 1979 à nos jours permet d’appréhender l’européanisation de la sphère politique nationale comme un processus dynamique construit par les appropriations de l’intégration européenne développées par les acteurs politiques nationaux. Les config...
This study of the uses of Europe by the leaders of the Front National shows how the opening of a new European political space can have indirect effects, supporting political parties at the domestic level and strengthening specific actors within political organizations. The theme of Europe, together with European elections and the European Parliamen...

Mobilizing Europe in the National Competition: A Study of the Europeanization of the French National Front
The study of the “uses” of Europe by the leaders of the Front national shows how the opening of a new European political space can have indirect effects, in supporting political parties at the domestic level and strengthening specific actors i...
Analyse de la place et du fonctionnement des groupes d'intérêts dans l'UE
The aim of this paper is to test the hypothesis that the opening of a European political space and the Europeanization of parties create a favourable arena for populist speech, themes and perhaps ideology, especially in the case of anti-EU parties. To do this, a quantitative study of populist speeches in French pro- and anti-EU party Euromanifestos...
