  • 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).

Robert Elgie School of Law and Government, Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland ABSTRACT This article applies Maurice Duverger’s 1964 thesis of the éternel marais to the French party system following Emmanuel Macron’s victory in the 2017 presidential election. Duverger argued that for around 80 per cent of the period from 1789 to 1958, France had been governed from the centre, which he called the marais, with power shifting not between the left and the right, but between governments of the moderate left and the moderate right. At the time, Duverger believed that this tendency might be about to end due to social change and the then recent introduction of the direct election of the president that created the potential for a bipolarisation of the party system.

  • The French Legislative Election: Outlook for the First Round on 11 June
    The French legislative election: Outlook for the first round on 11 June blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2017/06/07/french-legislative-election-11-june/ 2017-6-7 Following the election of Emmanuel Macron in May, French voters will be called to elect their new parliament on 11 and 18 June. While legislative elections are often considered to be ‘second order elections’ in the French system, Marta Lorimer argues that this year’s elections will be particularly important because they will determine whether Macron will have the parliamentary majority he needs to push forward his reform programme, and will provide a true measure of the President’s success. The legislative elections in France are often considered to be ‘second order elections’. They attract fewer voters than the presidential election, and, especially since the introduction of the five-year presidential mandate, which led them to take place only a few months after the presidential election, are expected to grant a majority to the newly elected president. In the run-up to and immediate aftermath of Emmanuel Macron’s victory, however, the legislative elections have acquired a much higher level of interest. In fact, several commentators have pointed out that to govern, Macron will need a parliamentary majority, and that this might be very difficult to achieve with a recently created party. Indeed, Macron’s party, La République en Marche (LREM, formerly En Marche!), was only created a little over a year before the election, and it lacks many of the resources associated with larger parties.

  • 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).

  • French Administrative Law Under the Health Emergency Yseult Marique, Senior Lecturer, School of Law, University of Essex [DOI: 10.5526/Xgeg-Xs42 009]
    : French Administrative Law under the Health Emergency Yseult Marique, Senior Lecturer, School of Law, University of Essex [DOI: 10.5526/xgeg-xs42_009] Abstract States of emergency test the limits of constitutionalism and our commitment to the rule of law (Dyzenhaus 2012). They tell us something about the ultimate power in a society and the very nature of state powers. French constitutions have a long history of arising from crises, revolutions and overthrows. The current political regime was born in 1958 at the time of the Algerian war of independence. More recently, the French have lived under a sustained period of emergency regulations following the terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015. Now that a state of health emergency has been declared and extended it is possible to reflect on how key principles relating to the rule of law, such as legality and judicial control, are being re-shaped. This helps us to reflect on how the state seeks to command compliance from its citizens and how a balance is struck between necessity and legality. Key stages can be identified: a first stage when (judicial) control is muted and a second stage when judges re-assert their role once the risks linked to the pandemic have been curbed. This differentiation both confirms the risk of normalising an executive state of emergency (at the time of the peak) and the possibility of a judicial state of emergency emerging (once the first wave is over) (Ginsburg and Versteeg 2020). This brings into question how the next steps in the health emergency can be made subject to robust scrutiny and accountability mechanisms as necessity evolves.
