  • 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).

  • A Mould-Breaking Cabinet? Changes and Continuities in the Formation of the 2017 French Government
    A mould-breaking cabinet? Changes and continuities in the formation of the 2017 French government Cristina Bucur University of Oslo [email protected] Abstract Emmanuel Macron’s election as President of the Republic and the formation 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 Édouard Philippe in the shadow of the 2017 presidential and parliamentary elections compare to previous governments in the Fifth Republic. The analysis reveals a less than revolutionary break with previous patterns of government size, channels of ministerial recruitment, portfolio allocation, gender balance and ethnic diversity. 1 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). Several other constitutional provisions increase the president’s authority over the executive decision-making process. For example, the right to chair cabinet meetings (under Article 9) allows the head of state to set the agenda and influence policy-making indirectly (Knapp and Wright 2006: 89).
