Bottom-up democracy, blame and a republican monarch among the ‘déclassés’
As Emmanuel Macron confided to the journalist Cécile Amar, he owed his success to the weakness of the political system, while his anti-system presidential vehicle, La République en Marche, prided itself on being the antithesis of the old party machines, its ranks filled by individuals whose feet were firmly planted in civil society. Yet as his presidency progressed, it became clear that Macron’s agenda for renewal and reform was undermined by an …
After Charlie: The unravelling of the French republican response
Starting with the assault on the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on 7 January 2015, the French Republic has endured a series of terrorist attacks, culminating in the massacre of civilians on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice on 14 July 2016, an outrage deliberately and symbolically timed to coincide with the Bastille Day celebration. During this period, the governing and other elites in France attempted to foster a sense of nation…
Low culture and high politics: Presidential passions in France
The template for the presidency of the Fifth Republic was set by Charles de Gaulle and one of the defining characteristics of that office was the preservation of a dignified distance between the incumbent and the fourth estate. With regard to President François Hollande and his predecessor, however, there had never been a greater measure of media intrusion in the life of the president, and often of the most prurient kind. The questions this raise…
Beyond left and right
The end of the left-right divide is something which has been pronounced with growing regularity over the last 30 years or so. Emmanuel Macron’s victory in the presidential election and the majority obtained by his party, La République en Marche, in the parliamentary election, would seem to confirm that development. This article analyses, in the first instance, the failure of traditional parties of left and right to adapt to the transformation of …
Ideological uncertainty and the path of convergence: The impact of the 1970s in France and the UK
This article looks at the fracturing of certainties that began in the 1970s, at the end of the period described as ‘les trente glorieuses’ in France, but a period that was also, to a more modest extent, a period of economic expansionism and intellectual optimism in the UK. At the level of political discourse and policy options, the economic crisis of the late 1970s prepared the ground for a marked divergence between France and the UK: on the one …
The Sarkozy Presidency: Breaking the Mould?
Sarkozy came to power promising radical political and social change while simultaneously developing a presidential persona that melded the public and the personal under the glare of media attention, u
Sarkozy-de Gaulle: Recycling the Resistance myth
The Resistance myth in France was consciously crafted by Charles de Gaulle and his supporters, during World War II and afterwards, to create a coherent narrative of national unity to help carry the country through the period of conflict and the reconstruction that followed. The consensus underpinning the viability of the myth began to fracture from the 1970s onwards and has reached the point of becoming, according to some historians, ‘balkanised’…
Renegotiating the Self: France and its Privileged Other
It is commonly the case that in the French media the adjective ‘Anglo-Saxon’ refers to one vast category that includes both English and American, since they share a common language. Moreover, since the nineteenth century, the French passion for modernity has tended to resort to an American template much more than an English one. But in the process of ‘othering’ that is crucial to the definition of the Self, England is the enduring and indispensab…
From Islam en France to Islam de France: Contradictions of the French left's responses to Islam
The political class in France, especially the left, has been profoundly shaped by the revolutionary heritage of 1789. Determined to combat the determinisms that fractured French society under the ancien régime, such as religion, the individual was reconfigured, first as a citizen and then, by the left, as indistinguishable from a class, the proletariat. While in both cases the conceptualization of the individual had the benefit of unity and clari…
The French Communist Party during the Fifth Republic: A Crisis of Leadership and Ideology
The demise of the French Communist Party (PCF) has been a recurrent feature of overviews of the Left in France for the past two decades, and yet the Communists survive. This study examines the factors
The French Communist Party during the Fifth Republic: A Crisis of Leadership and Ideology
"Chronicles foretelling the death of the French Communist Party have been a staple part of the literature on the Left in France since the 1980s, when the party began to lose control over the dissident voices in its own ranks and had to face the evidence of its failure at the ballot box. The collapse of the Berlin Wall and the demise of the Soviet Union reinforced the belief that the party had lost its raison d'etre and therefore any enduring hope…
