Whereas Mitterrand and Chirac politics. bowed out in their seventies, Sarkozy comes to office aged only fifty-two. For the first time, the French Fifth Republic has a president born after the Second World War, as well as a presi- dent of direct immigrant descent.1 Sarkozy’s emphatic victory, with 53 percent of the run-off vote against the Socialist Ségolène Royal, gave him a clear mandate for reform. The near-record turnout of 84 percent for both rounds of the election reflected the public demand for change. The legislative elections of June 2007, which assured a strong majority in the National Assembly for Sarkozy’s centre-right Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP), cleared the way for implementing his agenda over the next five years.2 This article examines the political context within which Sarkozy was elected to power, the main proposals of his presidential program, the challenges before him, and his prospects for bringing real change to a France that is all too evidently in need of reform.

  • Discours De Madame Rama YADE Secrétaire D'etat Chargée Des
    Discours de Madame Rama YADE Secrétaire d’Etat chargée des Sports, En ouverture des premières Assises du Sport et du Développement Durable Paris, jeudi 20 mai 2010 ***** Madame la Ministre, chère Chantal, Monsieur le Président, cher Denis, Cher Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Mesdames et Messieurs, Chers amis, Nous venons d’entendre une belle voix simple, j’allais dire une voix d’humanité. Ce qui nous rassemble aujourd’hui, c’est justement une certaine idée de l’Homme, de son rapport aux autres, et à son environnement. Longtemps, nous avons cru que l’Homme était maître de l’univers comme de lui-même. Cet orgueil, cette foi prométhéenne dans l’activité des hommes, nous savons aujourd’hui qu’ils conduisent à des dérèglements irréversibles, qu’ils soient climatiques, économiques ou sociaux. Il ne s’agit pas de mettre en cause les progrès de la science ou le développement économique : je crois profondément à l’intelligence collective de nos sociétés et en la capacité de chacun de prendre la mesure des défis que nous devons relever. La liberté de l’Homme, c’est d’arrêter l’irréversible. Il y a une urgence environnementale. Nous devons y faire face. C’est le défi de ce nouveau siècle ; c’est le défi de notre temps. C’est pourquoi c’est un grand plaisir pour moi de vous accueillir ici pour le lancement de ces premières Assises nationales du sport et du développement durable. Je vous remercie d’avoir répondu si nombreux à notre invitation. Notre invitation : le pluriel est important. Le sport, 1/5 Seul le prononcé fait foi même individuel, est un moment de partage.

  • A Look at Nicolas Sarkozy's African Policy in the French
    Dynamiques Internationales ISSN 2105-2646 Sonia Le Gouriellec A look at Nicolas Sarkozy’s African policy in the French “backyard” Sonia Le Gouriellec, Université Paris Descartes1 Introduction Many studies have attempted to analyze the evolution of France's African policy. They focus on the changes from one government to another, and problematize the paradox of change and continuity, or a variation: fracture and permanency2. As his term of office is coming to an end, we can begin making a first assessment of the Presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy, who was elected in 2007. Despite suspicions that have weighed on the new government, France would wish to remain in Africa. In fact, the stakes have changed little since the decolonization era: • Africa remains a lever of influence at the UN, and major international institutions in general, and therefore helps in consolidating the French position; • It allows access to raw materials in well-stocked countries which are also dependent on the export of some gross commodities (agriculture and mining). One thinks of the Niger uranium, Mauritanian ores, Nigerian gas… • It is the main vector of the Francophonie, and can promote the dissemination of the French culture. France thus commands 129 French alliances in Africa, distributed among 38 countries. 1 Sonia Le Gouriellec is doing a PhD in Political Science, and teaches at the University Paris Descartes. She is also a member of the IRSEM’s young research analysts community. 2 Special Issues : Modern and Contemporary France, vol.13, n°1, February 2005 ; Politique

  • And Its 'Crisis'
    DEBATS · Volum 130/2 · 2016 — 81 /97 ISSN 2530-898X (print) ISSN 2530-8262 (electronic) ‘The French Model’ and its ‘Crisis’: Ambitions, Ambiguities and Challenges of a Cultural Policy* Vincent Dubois UNIVERSITÉ DE STRASBOURG / INSTITUT D’ÉTUDES POLITIQUES [email protected] Received: 27/05/2016 Accepted: 20/10/2016 ABSTRACT French cultural policy is often regarded as a model. However, in France, the crisis of national cultural policy has been endlessly discussed since the 1980s. This disillusionment is partly due to over- estimation of the model’s consistency from the outset. This paper looks at the foundations of French cultural policy, showing that the present difficulties stem from the model’s foundational ambiguities and contradictions. We thus offer a critical view of the legacy of a policy that has been vigorously pursued over the last fifty years and analyse the difficulties it currently faces and their roots. The paper concludes with proposals for new ways of approaching these issues.
