MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE”? Comparing the French and American Ecosystems
institut montaigne MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE”? Comparing the French and American Ecosystems REPORT MAY 2019 MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE” MEDIA POLARIZATION There is no desire more natural than the desire for knowledge MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE”? Comparing the French and American Ecosystems MAY 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In France, representative democracy is experiencing a growing mistrust that also affects the media. The latter are facing major simultaneous challenges: • a disruption of their business model in the digital age; • a dependence on social networks and search engines to gain visibility; • increased competition due to the convergence of content on digital media (competition between text, video and audio on the Internet); • increased competition due to the emergence of actors exercising their influence independently from the media (politicians, bloggers, comedians, etc.). In the United States, these developments have contributed to the polarization of the public square, characterized by the radicalization of the conservative press, with significant impact on electoral processes. Institut Montaigne investigated whether a similar phenomenon was at work in France. To this end, it led an in-depth study in partnership with the Sciences Po Médialab, the Sciences Po School of Journalism as well as the MIT Center for Civic Media. It also benefited from data collected and analyzed by the Pew Research Center*, in their report “News Media Attitudes in France”. Going beyond “fake news” 1 The changes affecting the media space are often reduced to the study of their most visible symp- toms. For instance, the concept of “fake news”, which has been amply commented on, falls short of encompassing the complexity of the transformations at work.

Choose France!” Summit Focusing on France’S Attractiveness to Business
PRESIDENCY OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC ______ Press Office Paris, January 22, 2018 PRESS RELEASE “Choose France!” summit focusing on France’s attractiveness to business Versailles, January 22, 2018 #ChooseFrance The President of France will be attending the “Choose France!” summit at the Palace of Versailles on Monday January 22, where distinguished guests will include nearly 140 business leaders representing some the world’s biggest businesses in a wide variety of sectors, from the automotive industry to new technologies, agri-food, financial services and healthcare. The “Choose France!” summit is another key stage in the promotion of France’s attractiveness as a business location after several months of far-reaching economic reforms by the French government. The aim of the event is to highlight how France stands up as an attractive business destination, underpinned by the announcement of various investment projects in France and the presence of 140 business leaders, many of whom are on their way to the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland), who will discuss their ambitions in France with the President, Prime Minister and 16 ministers. Five multinational firms will use the summit to announce major investment projects in France. Each of these will serve as a symbolic illustration – due to either their size, the sums being invested, growth or jobs being generated, or their excellence and significance for sectors of the future. A handful of smaller projects will also be announced during the event. As part of a day largely given over to France’s attractiveness to business, the President of France will also pay an early afternoon visit to Toyota’s industrial plant near Valenciennes (north-eastern France), where the Toyota Yaris is made (3.5 million units produced since opening in 2001) and 3,800 people are employed at a site driving employment in the local area.

Bilan Annuel Des Grandes Entre- L' Prises Françaises »
OBSERVATOIREOBSERVATOIRE DES DES MULTINATIONALES MULTINATIONALES LE VÉRITABLE BILAN 2019 CAC40 ANNUEL RADIOGRAPHIE DES GRANDES ENTREPRISES FRANÇAISES RAPPORT PUBLIÉ PAR L’OBSERVATOIRE DES MULTINATIONALE AVANT-PROPOS Observatoire des multinationales est heureux de vous présenter la deuxième édition de son « Véritable bilan annuel des grandes entre- L' prises françaises ». Salaires, dividendes, impôts, mais aussi émissions de gaz à effet de serre, droits des travailleurs, déchets, égalité entre homme et femmes ou lobbying : c'est une tentative de radiographie complète du CAC40 du point de vue non pas des marchés financiers (comme c'est le cas des rapports officiels publiés par les entreprises), mais du point de vue de la société, c'est-à-dire des problèmes qui se posent à nous tous en tant que travailleur.se.s et citoyen.ne.s. L'objectif de ce « Véritable bilan annuel » reste le même : susciter et alimenter l'indispensable débat démocratique sur les stratégies et sur les choix de « nos » multinationales, mais aussi sur les politiques publiques qui les soutiennent de manière directe et indirecte. Un débat qui n'a vraiment lieu aujourd'hui, parce que souvent relégué hors du champ du « débattable » par nos dirigeants poli- tiques et économiques, mais aussi faute d'informations accessibles, sincères et indépendantes sur ces questions. Inévitablement, notre publication appuie donc sur les points qui font mal et les questions qui fâchent – celles que le CAC40 minimise ou passe sous silence dans ses propres documents de communication. C'est parce que les questions posées ici sont importantes, et la responsabilité des grandes entreprises – françaises ou autres – souvent grande.

Macron's Authoritarian Turn?
POLICY OUTLOOK POLICY OUTLOOK DISCUSSION PAPER Macron’s Authoritarian Turn? The Potential Impact of ‘la loi relative à la sécurité globale’ on Civil Liberties in France Anna Murphy (Julien Mattia - Anadolu Agency) Over the course of the Macron presidency, France has seen what almost seems like a continous wave of popular demonstrations. This policy outlook examines the contents and implications of ‘la loi relative à la sécurité globale’, the comprehensive security law that has sparked the most recent display of anti-government anger. The outlook analyses some of the most controversial components of the bill, including a clause that partially bans the filming of police officers, and positions them within a broader political shift in the country. The opinions expressed in this policy outlook represent the views of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the TRT World Research Centre. POLICY OUTLOOK Background On November 24th, the French National Assembly vot- ed to approve la proposition de loi relative à la sécurité globale (comprehensive security law). Within hours, thou- sands across Paris and several other French cities took to the streets in a widespread display of opposition to the draft law. While similar scenes of civil unrest have become a familiar sight in France over the last few years, this new bill has garnered a particularly strong reaction from par- ties both inside and outside of the country due to the inclu- sion of several controversial articles. Namely, Article 24 of (Julien Mattia - Anadolu Agency) the draft law criminalises “disseminating, by any means or medium whatsoever, with the aim of harming their physi- cacy.

FRANCE: a HOTBED of OPPOSITION to the TTIP? Elvire Fabry | Senior Research Fellow at the Jacques Delors Institute
POLICY PAPER 136 10 JUNE 2015 FRANCE: A HOTBED OF OPPOSITION TO THE TTIP? Elvire Fabry | senior research fellow at the Jacques Delors Institute SUMMARY Two years after the start of negotiations for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) in July 2013, the evolution of French public opinion is intriguing. THE EVOLUTION OF FRENCH PUBLIC OPINION It was expected that opposition to TTIP would come primarily from France, IS INTRIGUING” where public opinion is traditionally wary of trade liberalisation. But in November 2014, when 59% of Europeans and 25 of 28 member states said they were in favour of TTIP, 50% of French held a favourable opinion while the Germans had become the leading opponents of TTIP. The shift in German public opinion in spring 2014 had not been anticipated, considering that the German econ- omy has turned towards exports and that the German government itself was active in supporting the launch of negotiations. Public debate over TTIP has only truly manifested in France during the European election campaigns of May 2014, when the minor parties opposed to negotiations put the spotlight on the sanitary, phytosanitary, and environmental issues of the negotiations. The two major political groups adopted a more cautious and even evasive approach, waiting until autumn 2014 to clearly state their positions. In summer 2014, meanwhile, the inclusion of a mechanism to resolve disputes between investor and state has imposed itself as a source of more mobilising fears and has united a cross-partisan opposition which has con- tributed to growing doubts over the benefits of the agreement.

Changes and Continuities in the Formation of the 2017 French Government
Fr Polit (2017) 15:340–359 DOI 10.1057/s41253-017-0042-9 ORIGINAL ARTICLE A mould-breaking cabinet? Changes and continuities in the formation of the 2017 French government Cristina Bucur1 Published online: 1 August 2017 Ó Macmillan Publishers Ltd 2017 Abstract Emmanuel Macron’s election as President of the Republic and the for- mation of a government that includes a mix of politicians from parties on the left and right of the political spectrum, as well as a signiﬁcant share of non-partisan ministers, has been hailed by numerous commentators as an unprecedented overhaul of France’s political life. This article examines how the two cabinets formed under prime minister E´ douard Philippe in the shadow of the 2017 presidential and par- liamentary elections compare to previous governments in the Fifth Republic. The analysis reveals a less than revolutionary break with previous patterns of govern- ment size, channels of ministerial recruitment, portfolio allocation, gender balance, and ethnic diversity. Keywords France Á Cabinet Á Ministers Á Political parties Á Gender Á Ethnic diversity The president and the prime minister appointment The Constitution of the Fifth Republic places the president at the centre of the government formation process. Article 8 grants the head of state unconstrained power to select the prime minister and to appoint all other cabinet members on his or her proposal. Thus, favourable circumstances, such as the support of a majority in parliament, allow the head of state to appoint a loyal and/or at least subordinate prime minister and take control over the government (Elgie 2013: 20).
