Dominique de Villepin made a career in public life at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Dominique de Villepin as French politician and diplomat; 95th Prime Minister of France.
Dominique de Villepin was born at Rabat in 1953. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at Sciences Po and University of Paris.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as politician, diplomat and writer.
His affiliations include Sciences Po.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
His recorded fields of work are politics, diplomacy and legal work.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Grand Cross of the National Order of Merit (2005) and Grand Cross of Royal Norwegian Order of Merit.
Working from France shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Dominique de Villepin is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
