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.

Thousands of other books, including many of the most important and unusual, never found their way into my catalogues, having been quickly sold before their descriptions could appear in print. In the last fifteen years, since my Catalogue 100 appeared, many truly exceptional books passed through my hands. Of these, I would like to mention three. The first, sold in 2003 was a copy of the first edition in Latin of the Columbus Letter of 1493. This is now in a private collection. In 2004, I was offered a book which I scarcely dreamed of owning: the Narratio Prima of Rheticus, printed in 1540. Presenting the first announcement of the heliocentric system of Copernicus, this copy in now in the Linda Hall Library in Kansas City, Missouri.

  • Metezeau Vieux Renard Et Jeunes Loups.Indd
    AVANTPROPOS Le dégagisme, et après ? Jean-Luc Mélenchon en avait fait le maître-mot de sa campagne : « Dégagez-les ! » Mais en 2017, c’est bel et bien Emmanuel Macron qui a bénéfi cié du déga- gisme. Peut-être même l’a-t-il provoqué. Le bilan est éloquent et la vague tout aussi puissante que celle de 1958, après le retour du général de Gaulle au pouvoir. Ainsi, Nicolas Sarkozy, Alain Juppé, François Hol- lande, François Fillon et Arnaud Montebourg ont-ils été sortis du jeu politique national à la faveur des primaires ou de l’élection présidentielle. Ensuite, les législatives ont été fatales à des personnalités qui ne s’imaginaient pas sorties si violemment de la vie poli- tique. Il en fut ainsi pour Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, partie travailler pour Capgemini à New York, ou Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, devenue directrice générale déléguée d’Ipsos. Ou encore pour Marisol Touraine, Myriam El Khomri, Jean-Jacques Urvoas, Matthias Fekl, Cécile Dufl ot, David Douillet… Anciens ministres, consi- dérés comme des espoirs de leur camp, ils sont tous revenus à la « vie civile ». Parmi les candidats en 2017, Marine Le Pen et Jean-Luc Mélenchon vivent des situations similaires. 7 VIEUX RENARDS ET JEUNES LOUPS Tous deux sont ressortis déçus de la présidentielle. Elle, après un débat calamiteux et des mises en examen en série dans un parti au bord de la ruine fi nancière. Lui, car il a fi ni quatrième, comme en 2012, avec une image de mauvais perdant.

    How Macron Won It All The French president as master kingmaker. he French did it again. By recalling Christine Lagarde, who has served as managing director of the International Monetary Fund since 2011, from Washington and throwing her into the race to succeed Mario Draghi as By Klaus C. Engelen head of the European Central Bank, French President Emanuel Macron effectively won the real power game in the competition for the top European positions after the May elections for the European Parliament. But since Macron helped nominate, in a big surprise, Ursula von der Leyen, Tthe Brussels-born francophone long-time member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government, to lead the new EU Commission, the disappoint- ment in Germany of not seeing Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann chosen as Draghi’s successor may have been somewhat mitigated. HOW MACRON GOT THE POLE POSITION When the race for the new EU chief executive began, the French presi- dent started questioning the system of Spitzenkandidaten (lead candidates). Macron referred to the Lisbon Treaty, which left the Council in the lead role to select and propose a candidate whom the European Parliament then would have to confirm with an absolute majority. The Council consists of the heads of state or governments of the member countries, together with its president and the president of the Commission. In Macron’s view, the 2014 European election, when the center-right European People’s Party got Jean-Claude Juncker elected Commission president with the help of the Progressive Alliance for Socialist and Democrats, was THE MAGAZINE OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY an aberration to be corrected.
