Du bon usage d’Obama en politique française

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Justin Vaisse draws on the lessons of the election of Barack Obama – the first African-American president of the U.S. – for France, where very few black or Arab candidates emerge. To the extent the two countries can be compared, particular attention is given to the role of minority districts in the U.S. in fostering a more diverse body of politicians in the last four decades. Such districts don't exist in metropolitan France, but the French political system can easily improve its record by imposing a reform of the initial selection of candidates by the main political parties.

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Just over a year into the presidential term of France's Nicolas Sarkozy, Philip Gordon and Justin Vaisse note that the first year has been a bitter disappointment.

Nicolas Sarkozy: The Hyperpresident

Thu, 01 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT

The French are supposed to be resistant to change, but it would be wrong to assume that Nicolas Sarkozy – their new, reform-minded president – will fail. Elected on a pledge to make a “clean break” with the past, he might not get everything he wants but he is already transforming his country. And don’t expect him to back down easily.

The Challenge of Reforming France

Sat, 01 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT

Nevertheless, there are some worrying economic and social issues. The French welfare system no longer seems sustainable in the face of demographic pressure, mounting debt, and persistent unemployment. The riots in the poorer suburbs of Paris in November 2005 gave some hint of how disenfranchised one growing segment of the population has become. At the same time, even fairly modest reforms, such as the proposed CPE (Contrat Première Embauche or First Employment Contract) intended to reduce youth unemployment, provoked massive demonstrations and nationwide strikes. Such measures are often withdrawn or scaled back under pressure. What former Prime Minister Edouard Balladur said about his would-be youth labor law in 1994 could have been said by Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin in April 2006 about his own attempt: "I would like to see an end to the sort of hypocrisy that consists in lamenting youth unemployment while criticizing every single measure we are trying to take." Finding a way to move past this societal blockage will be one of the key issues in the 2007 presidential elections in France.

Decadent Europe Revisited

Wed, 01 Feb 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The current deadlock in the European Union's constitutional process has provoked yet another period of deep euro-pessimism. It is worth noting that the concept of Europe has lived through similar periods in the past and survived them all, often growing stronger in the process. We need only re-read Raymond Aron's Plaidoyer pour l'Europe décadente (In Defense of Decadent Europe) published in 1976 to recall the dismal intellectual and strategic atmosphere of that moment: the stagflation, the appeal of Eurocommunism, and the apparent strategic ascendancy of the Soviet Union.

The Future of Decadent Europe

Wed, 01 Feb 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The conventional wisdom holds that Europe today is economically or socially dysfunctional. In this view, Europe, with its long vacations and generous pensions, is in many ways a better place to live than the United States, but that can not last. Even if the European social model is desirable, it is unrealistic and sooner or later, doomed. This assertion of Europe's doom derives from the association of technological change and globalization with inevitability or necessity. The protected economies of Europe that we have grown so used to will no longer be possible—like it or not this change is going to be upon us. We can see the future because we can see the shape of the economic present.

Sisyphus Revisited: Options for the EU's Constitutional Future

Fri, 01 Jul 2005 00:00:00 GMT

The rejection of the draft Constitutional Treaty in referendums in France and the Netherlands triggered a political crisis in the European Union. The crisis was quickly followed by the decisions of the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic to defer their referendums. The European Council reacted with a very mild Declaration calling for a period of reflection during which a broad debate could take place and for the alteration of the ratification timetable if member states so decided. Several member states (Denmark, Ireland, Portugal and Poland) decided to suspend planned referendums; only Luxembourg stuck to its original timetable, ratifying the Constitution by referendum on July 10, 2005. Clearly, the process of ratifying the Constitutional Treaty has broken down.
