Description
Summary:The international presence embodied by French nationals living abroad is an asset for France. Underlying the measures deployed for them, the objectives of influence pursued by the nation-state sometimes compete with the objectives of support for the population.

French emigration in London, once aristocratic or bourgeois, has become more democratic, and the social recomposition of expatriation, which reflects in professional careers, reveals the failure of institutional mechanisms to fulfill their mission of providing an inclusive support system for citizens.
