"Commissioned officer profession in French Air Force: selecting an elite for Airmen or for political military decision processes?"
Résumé
At the end of July 2021, a new Chief of Staff of the French Armed Forces will be appointed by the President of the Republic. Once again, it will be a general from the Army. Since 1995, none of the 7 generals who have held this position, none was a general from the Air Force. Using an interactionist approach to professions and concept of social spaces developed by Pierre Bourdieu, this paper will attempt to shed light on how the French military elite is partially selected through the case of the French Air Force, the elite that will be in contact with political elites and decision-making processes.
