Guadeloupe is an overseas department and region of France in the eastern Caribbean, making it fully part of the French Republic and, by extension, the European Union. It is governed under French law with locally elected institutions, including a regional council currently led by Ary Chalus, alongside representation in the French Parliament; as French territory it falls under Paris's foreign and defense authority. Key local fault lines include debates over autonomy, cost of living and economic dependence on the metropole, and recurrent social tensions over public health and labor policy. Its position anchors French and EU presence in the Lesser Antilles, near Antigua and Barbuda, Montserrat, and Dominica.
