These elections are particularly unpredicatable. The original leading front-runner of the traditional right-wing party, François Fillon of Les Républicains, has been hard hit by accusations of personal corruption. Marine Le Pen of the far-right has also been accused of using European parliament monery to fund party workers for the NF at its Paris headquarters. The current polls show Le Pen and the "neither left nor right" former minister of the Hollande government Emmanuel Macron going through to the second round, with Macron predicted to beat Le Pen. At the same time Jean-Luc Mélenchon, supported by his specially created movement "France Insoumise" and, more reluctantly, the constituent parties of the Front de gauche, has overtaken the official Socialist Party candidate Benoît Hamon. This latter has been deserted by a number of leading SP figures including former prime minister Manuel Valls in favour of Macron. [1] However a recent television debate with all eleven candidate threw the spotlight onto the "minor" candidates, and notably Philippe Poutou of the New Anticapitalist Party.

  • From Sarkozy to Hollande: the New Normal?
    From Sarkozy to Hollande: The New Normal? Alistair Cole (Cardiff University, UK), Sophie Meunier (Princeton University, US) and Vincent Tiberj (Sciences Po, Paris, France Paoper presented to the Annual Conference of the Political Studies Association, Cardiff, 25-27 March 2013 1 The overall aim of the Developments in series, form which this paper is drawn, is to provide an integrated and systematic assessment of current trends, drawing on the latest research but with sufficient background to make the book accessible for readers without a detailed knowledge of French politics. Two central questions guide the present volume. First, is there still a “French exception”, a uniquely French path to identity and globalization - if there ever was? And second, did the presidencies of Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande represent mostly rupture or continuity with French political and cultural traditions? To answer these questions, rather than identifying a single encompassing theme, the book sets out to capture the past decade or so of French politics across five main dimensions: the core political and institutional evolutions; processes of partisanship, citizenship, communication and mediation; political attitudes and elections; domestic policy reforms and the multi-level, regional and international contexts. Though there is no overarching conclusion to this volume, the key approach underpinning most chapters is one of France’s contingent governance --the country caught between converging economic, European and international pressures and the robust defence of a particular model of republican integration. The main purpose of the introductory chapter on which this paper is based is to provide a temporally specific overview that integrates the five dimensions mentioned above and contributes to our understanding of the evolution of the French polity.

  • Marine Le Pen and the 'New' FN: a Change of Style Or of Substance?
    Parliamentary Affairs (2013) 66, 179–196 doi:10.1093/pa/gss076 Marine Le Pen and the ‘New’ FN: A Change of Style or of Substance? James Shields* School of Languages and Social Sciences, Aston University, Birmingham B4 7ET, UK Downloaded from *Correspondence: [email protected] The electoral challenge of the far right is an enduringly problematic feature of con- temporary French politics. In the first rounds of the 2012 presidential and parlia- mentary elections, the Front National (FN) under new leader Marine Le Pen http://pa.oxfordjournals.org/ attracted a combined total of ten million votes, bringing its ultra-nationalist pol- icies to the centre of national political debate. This article examines the FN’s impact on these elections and its implications for French politics. Drawing on of- ficial FN programmes, detailed election results and a range of opinion polling data, it assesses the strength of support for Le Pen and her party and seeks to explain their electoral appeal. In particular, it subjects to analysis the claim that the new leader has ‘de-demonised’ the FN, transforming it from perennial outsider by guest on December 15, 2012 to normal participant in mainstream French politics; and it reflects on the strategic dilemma posed for the centre-right by this newly invigorated far-right challenge. 1. Introduction The first round of the presidential election on 22 April 2012 set a new high point for the far right in France. With 17.9% of the vote, Marine Le Pen finished behind the Socialist candidate Franc¸ois Hollande (28.6%) and the outgoing centre-right president Nicolas Sarkozy (27.2%).

  • Symposium: 2017: a Year of Popular Decisions
    SYMPOSIUM: 2017: A YEAR OF POPULAR DECISIONS THE 2017 TURKISH CONSTITUTIONAL REFERENDUM: DOMESTIC AND TRANSNATIONAL IMPLICATIONS Ayca Arkilic Victoria University of Wellington [email protected] Introduction On 16 April 2017, Turks cast their vote in a nationwide referendum that introduced significant changes to the current constitution, which has been in use since 1982. Even though the 1982 constitution has been amended 18 times in the past 35 years, the scheduled changes will have the most dramatic impact on the Turkish political system. This article will first provide an overview of the proposed amendments to the 1982 constitution. It will then discuss the repercussions of the referendum results for Turkey and the rest of Europe. The Proposed Constitutional Changes Since its birth from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, the modern Turkish state has had four constitutions: The Constitution of 1921, The Constitution of 1924, The Constitution of 1961, and The Constitution of 1982.1 Drafted by a military junta in the aftermath of the 1980 coup, the 1982 constitution forms the basis of Turkey’s current legal framework. The 1982 constitution has already been amended 18 times, 3 times by popular vote and 15 times through legislative action. In fact, 117 of the 177 articles are no longer in their original form.2 If constitutional amendment is not a novel 1 For more information on these constitutions, please see: https://global.tbmm.gov.tr/index.php/en/yd/icerik/12 2 Sinan Ekim and Kemal Kirişçi, “The Turkish constitutional referendum, explained,” Brookings Institute, April 13, 2017.

The 2017 package advised 18 groundbreaking changes, including the replacement of the current parliamentary system, under which Turkey’s president plays only a symbolic role, with a presidential system.

  • France and the Global Economic Order
    Proof Chapter 15 France and the Global Economic Order SOPHIE MEUNIER Introduction: globalization’s comeback in French politics Globalization has never been popular in France. This is, after all, the country that had given birth to anti-McDonald’s hero José Bové, the policy of ‘cultural exception’ and the anti-globalization organization ATTAC (Association pour la taxation des transactions pour l’aide aux citoyens (Association for Taxing Transactions for the Benefit of Citizens)). As a result, French policy-makers and big companies have long had to tread carefully, globalizing by stealth while pretending not to – never mind that France is the fifth largest commercial power in the world, one of the world’s most attractive destinations for foreign invest- ment and one of the largest holders of real assets in other countries. Nicolas Sarkozy was elected president after the apex of the ‘alter- globalization’ movement, which occurred in the early 2000s. A decade ago, the French were collectively obsessed with globalization, which politicians vilified all across the political spectrum. Today, France is less exceptional in its relation to globalization, not because the French grew tired of their obsession, but because the rest of the developed world rallied around the same fears, disillusions and identity crises (Meunier, 2012). The Sarkozy presidency started off in an appeased international eco- nomic climate, leaving the centre stage to domestic issues, from law and order to university reform, and international affairs, from freeing the Bulgarian nurses held in Libya to settling the Georgia conflict. Yet Sarkozy and his government were quickly confronted with a succession of economic crises that indeed demanded global management – first the financial crisis that erupted in the United States in September 2008, then the 2010 Greek crisis which subsequently degenerated into a crisis of the eurozone and culminated in January 2012 with the degradation of France’s AAA debt rating, a ‘coup dur’ for national prestige.

The FN exemplifies the typical radical right populist organiZation, primarily mobiliZing grievances over immigration, while LFI shows a left-wing egalitarian and socially inclusive profile.

Among them, France has advanced impressively in the past few years. In 2006, the Socialist Party (PS) launched a closed primary to choose the socialist candidate, Ségolène Royal, for the 2007 presidential election. Approaching the 2012 presidential elections, the leftist coalition (PS and PRG) launched open primary elections to select its chief-executive candidates, with François Hollande fi- nally emerging as a nominee. In this article, we shall examine how the socialist membership changed during the past three socialist con- gresses, analysing the outcome of the two above-mentioned primary elections. In particular, we shall ob- serve the Le Mans (2005), Reims (2008) and Toulouse (2012) Congresses, and describe membership, par- ticipation, and competitiveness within the PS. The study was based on data collected from an administra- tive unit, the French départements.
