Gilles Lazuech examines the French higher‑education system, focusing on the elite "grandes écoles" and their role in a globalized economy. Drawing on case studies and policy analysis, the book evaluates how these institutions balance tradition with the pressures of international competition, and how their model influences broader debates about merit, social mobility, and economic development. Lazuech situates the French experience within wider discussions of business education, management training, and the impact of globalization on national educational frameworks. The work offers a critical perspective for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of education and economics in contemporary France.
