The book explores the complex and multifaceted period of French politics from 2015 to 2018, marked by significant changes and challenges. It examines the apparent collapse of the old party system, the taming of populist and left-wing challenges to the Republic, and the emergence of a new political order centered on President Emmanuel Macron. The election of Macron was greeted with relief in European chancelleries, as it was seen as a potential catalyst for European integration and a way to reverse the decline of France in the eyes of the world. However, the book raises important questions about the real significance of the Macron presidency. Is it truly as transformative as it appears, or are there underlying issues and challenges that need to be addressed?
The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for a broad audience. It includes a range of perspectives and insights from experts in the field, including political analysts, historians, and journalists. The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of the political landscape, including the rise of populism, the challenges to the established order, and the policies of the Macron administration.
One of the key themes of the book is the role of the media in shaping public opinion and political discourse. The authors argue that the media played a significant role in the rise of Macron and the consolidation of his power, but that it also contributed to the polarization of French society and the marginalization of certain groups. They explore the ways in which the media has influenced the political agenda, the selection of candidates, and the public's perception of the government.
Another important theme is the impact of globalization on French politics. The authors argue that the country has been struggling to adapt to the changing global economic landscape, and that the Macron administration has attempted to address this through policies such as economic reform and international cooperation. However, they also note that these policies have faced challenges and criticisms, and that there are ongoing debates about the role of the state in the economy and the balance between national interests and global obligations.
The book also explores the social and cultural dimensions of the Macron presidency. The authors argue that Macron has attempted to address issues such as inequality, social exclusion, and climate change, but that these challenges are complex and require a multifaceted approach. They explore the ways in which the Macron administration has tried to engage with different social groups and promote social cohesion, as well as the challenges that it has faced in doing so.
In conclusion, Emmanuel Macron and the two years that changed France provides a valuable and insightful analysis of the period of French politics from 2015 to 2018. It offers a balanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities that the country faced during this time, and provides a range of perspectives and insights from experts in the field. The book is an essential read for anyone interested in French and European politics, as well as for students and scholars of French politics.
