    Politics & Diplomacy The Sarkozy Effect France’s New Presidential Dynamic J.G. Shields Nicolas Sarkozy’s presidential campaign was predicated on the J.G. Shields is an associate professor of need for change in France, for a break—“une rupture”—with the French Studies at the past. His election as president of the French Republic on 6 University of Warwick in England. He is the first May 2007 ushered in the promise of a new era. Sarkozy’s pres- holder of the American idency follows those of the Socialist François Mitterrand Political Science Associ- ation's Stanley Hoff- (1981-95) and the neo-Gaullist Jacques Chirac (1995-2007), mann Award (2007) for who together occupied France’s highest political office for his writing on French more than a quarter-century. 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.

  • Rachida Dati's Paternity Case Illustrates the Extent of Sexist
    blo gs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2012/11/29/rachida-datis-paternity-case/ Rachida Dati’s paternity case illustrates the extent of sexist attitudes toward female politicians in France. by Blog Admin A ruling is due next week on the court case involving the paternity of former French justice minister Rachida Dati’s child. Nabila Ramdani writes that the case is just the latest in a series of stories about sex scandals and affairs that have dominated the press in a country where female politicians have a terrible public image. Beyond the criminal allegations being aimed at f ormer president Nicolas Sarkozy, the most explosive legal case in France at the moment is centered on his protegee, Rachida Dati. Lawyers f or the f ormer conservative justice minister will be at the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Versailles next week, where judges will hand down a ruling with potentially massive f inancial consequences. Dati has named the casino and restaurant tycoon Dominique Desseigne as the f ather of her only child, now three. Desseigne, who is one of France’s richest men, is reportedly ref using to take a DNA test, but the court ruling could order him to co-operate. A positive result would entitle both mother and child to a multimillion-euro stake in his f ortune. If it already sounds like a Gallic Dallas, it gets worse. Desseigne has of f ered the names of seven other “f amous men” who were said to have had overlapping af f airs with Dati in the year during which the child was conceived – f rom other big-shot businessmen, through a TV star and Qatari prosecutor, to a younger brother of Sarkozy.

  • In Hollande's New Government, Women Have Half the Jobs, but Less
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2012/05/22/hollande-new-cabinet-women/ In Hollande’s new government, women have half the jobs, but less real power than under Sarkozy. May 22 2012 Many commentators have praised France’s new president François Hollande for appointing half of his cabinet and government’s posts to women. However, Rainbow Murray argues that these appointments are actually less favourable to women than the first Sarkozy government in 2007; most of the key ministerial posts have been given to men. Last week, the newly elected French president François Hollande unveiled France’s first parity government. Women now hold nine out of eighteen cabinet posts (excluding the (male) prime minister), and 17 out of a total of 34 government posts. This landmark moment comes in the wake of several unfulfilled promises of political parity in France. However, while there is much to be welcomed, the portfolios allocated to women demonstrate that French women still do not enjoy political equality with men. France first passed a parity law in 2000, requiring all French parties to field equal numbers of men and women to most elections. The law has led to significant improvements in women’s representation in local politics, but has been thwarted repeatedly at the national level, with parties placing women in unwinnable seats and, in some cases, sacrificing millions of euros in state subsidies rather than selecting more women candidates. As a result, the French National Assembly still only has 18.5% women MPs, although this is likely to rise sharply in June’s parliamentary elections.

  • He Rise of French Populism: an Election in a Most Fractured
    he Rise of French Populism: An Election in a Most TFractured Landscape Recent Popular Social Movements Populism Benoît Hamon Jean-Luc Mélenchon François Fillon Marine Le Pen Emmanuel Macron Conclusion Ramadan - Shawwal 1438 31 June - July 2017 2 © KFCRIS, 2017 ISSN: 1658-6972 Issue No. 31 - 20/06/2017 L.D. No: 1438/2868 Ramadan - Shawwal 1438 - June - July 2017 Ramadan - Shawwal 1438 - June - July 2017 3 opulism is said to be the major new political trend. From PBrexit to the election of Donald Trump in the United States, old ideas and conceptions of the Left and Right are being deconstructed before our eyes faced with populist mantras. The French presidential election of 2017 was a story of a pro-European, pro-business, globalist centrist candidate and underdog, Emmanuel Macron, defeating the favored right-wing candidate, decimating the Socialist left, and going on to win a super majority in the National Assembly, with a movement- turned-party he only recently created. However, what is not told, are the populist elements and narratives, coopted by all candidates in the French presidential election, and how this aided Macron where it delegitimized most others. This paper analyses does just that, in exploring and analyzing populist narratives in all the major French presidential candidates’ campaigns, as well as the context and evolution of populist sentiment in contemporary France in general to better understand how we have arrived at this point, and perhaps to better understand the direction Macron will take France and Europe. Ramadan - Shawwal 1438 - June - July 2017 Ramadan - Shawwal 1438 - June - July 2017 4 “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”— Dr.

Pursuant to Article 3 of the Code of Conduct for Members of the European Parliament with respect to financial interests and con- flicts of interest, “A conflict of interest exists where a Member of the European Parliament has a personal interest that could improperly influence the performance of his or her duties as a Member.”1 We express the belief that any MEP in the pay of commercial organisations directly or indirectly involved in influenc- ing EU decision making, at the best will not be perceived as maintaining “disinterest” (“disinterest” being one of the Guiding Principles in Article 1 of the Code) and at worst may actually come under commercial influence. In this report we highlight the risk of actual or perceived conflicts of interest developing and call for changes to the Code including a complete ban on side jobs with companies or groups involved in EU lobbying.

  • France Report
    Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators 2009 France report SGI 2009 | 2 France report Executive summary There are fundamental changes ahead for France’s political system as well as its economy and society. The public debate over the EU constitution showed that a large proportion of the French population as well as the country’s political elite were aware that reform was needed. However, during and after the failed referendum, it remained unclear how France could implement reforms within the framework of the existing system. France’s politics and culture are greatly influenced by a large gap between the group known as the political elite (people involved in politics, economics or the media) and the rest of the population, the majority of whom thinks economic reform is a reaction to global pressures of “hypercapitalism.” The debate over the EU constitution was a sort of preparatory battle for the 2007 parliamentary and presidential elections. It anticipated the debate on the need for a political break (“rupture”) that conservative party presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy had alluded to during his campaign. As a result, the political mood and debate in the country clearly changed in 2005-2007. While political paralysis was evident during the final phases of Jacques Chirac’s presidency and the governments under Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin and Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, the 2005 debates over the EU constitution and the 2007 electoral campaign offered the possibility to prepare reforms in the public sphere. The debate leading up to the referendum undoubtedly showed that the policies of the European Union, aimed at liberalization and privatization, are met with substantial criticism in France.
