Reflections on the 2022 elections in France
This article analyses, explains and evaluates selected key aspects of the 2022 presidential and parliamentary elections in France. It covers the first five-year term of President Macron, the presidential campaign, the results of both rounds of the presidential election, and the subsequent parliamentary contest at which the re-elected president failed to win a majority for his reform agenda. The article also examines the impact in both elections o…
A History of Modern Political Thought
Gary Browning’s book is a highly ambitious and at times challenging exploration of the history of modern political thought, which is lengthy, detailed and erudite. From the reader’s point of view i
Disorder, les forces de l’ordre and the re-ordering of capitalism in May–June 1968
The uprising of May–June 1968 in France is known for its intense street battles between demonstrators and police. But, despite the intensity of the clashes and the thousands of injuries sustained, it is also known for the relatively small number of deaths; this is perhaps particularly surprising given France’s history of ferocious and lethal state repression in moments of protest and revolution. An examination of the ways in which those deploying…
The phantom revolution. The presidential and parliamentary elections of 2017
The 2017 Presidential elections in France brought victory for President Emmanuel Macron, founder of a new party declaring itself above left and right, La République en Marche. The Parliamentary elections confirmed this success and brought an absolute majority of députés in support of the new president. Macron appointed a prime minister from the centre right, and ministers from both the centre left and centre right, alongside others who were non-a…
Voting in the Shadow of the Crisis. The French Presidential and Parliamentary Elections of 2012
The most significant result of the 2012 elections in France was the ejection of Nicolas Sarkozy from the Elysée Palace, in part because of his unpopularity as an individual but also because his policies often seemed to benefit the rich at the expense of the poor. The victory of François Hollande in the presidential elections and the Socialists in the parliamentary elections was also historic, because this was the first time since 1995 that there …
Marx, Engels, and the Ethics of Violence in Revolt
Marx and Engels's thought—combined with the way in which it has been interpreted—has tended to militate against discussion of an ethics of violence in revolt. Along with Sorel and Fanon, their attitude towards violence is often seen simply as one where the ends justify the means and where violence in pursuit of a just society is necessarily defensible. However, we can (and should) look to certain sources within Marx and Engels for inspiration for…
Alain Badiou and the Idée communiste
Badiou has re-launched the debate amongst intellectuals regarding the viability and the desirability of communism, insisting that now is the time to begin to take the idea of communism seriously again. This is an important move, especially as he contrasts a more generic form of communism with the actually existing communism of the twentieth century. Indeed, Badiou's own philosophical schema is bound up with notions of equality and emancipation. H…
Nicolas Sarkozy and the Legacy of Bonapartism. The French Presidential and Parliamentary Elections of 2007
The victory of Nicolas Sarkozy and his party in the elections of 2007 is best explained by reference to the notion of Bonapartism, which has a long history in French politics. Sarkozy's authoritarian populism, with its right- and far-right-leaning ideology and programme, nevertheless has eclectic references, which helped undermine other candidates and parties. In particular, the National Front was greatly weakened by Sarkozy, as he carefully inco…
Politics as Thought? The Paradoxes of Alain Badiou's Theory of Politics
New voices, new stage, new democracies
This article examines the emergence and growth of various protest movements in France over the past decade and attempts to explain their success by locating them both within the country's current political economy and within that of advanced capitalist countries more generally. It suggests that however diverse the movements might be, there are certainly common themes, and, in particular, there is widespread opposition to neo‐liberal economic poli…
Engagement and transcendence
Alain Badiou's thought combines reflexions on notions of the event, subject, truth and being, in a system that is among the most innovative in Western philosophy today. Influenced both by classical philosophy and by modern French theorists such as Althusser and Lacan, Badiou insists nevertheless that philosophy must learn to be a tool that is subordinate to, albeit uniquely placed to understand, developments in the crucial realms of science, art,…

Cet article evoque l'evolution recente de la pensee intellectuelle francaise des annees 70 a nos jours. L'A. analyse l'emergence d'une pensee liberale depuis Tocqueville, distincte de la pensee anglo-saxone, et qui s'est construite sur une depolitisation croissante de la population centree des lors sur une conception individualiste de la societe

Moderation and Dissent. The French Presidential Elections of 1995
The results of the Presidential elections of April-May 1995 confirm that there are currently two parallel trends in French politics. On the one hand the mainstream left and mainstream right are increasingly contesting the middle ground, and a majority of voters accept this. On the other hand, a substantial minority of the electorate is keen to protest against the inability of any of the major parties to remedy France's socio-economic ills, and th…
