The Macron Régime
When Emmanuel Macron was elected President of the French Republic, it ended the long-standing political alternation between the mainstream right- and left-wing parties. This book examines Macron’s political career from his rise as a public figure to his time as a president.
The book explores Macron’s political ideology and examines the enactment of the key notions of security, merit and hope during his time in office. By offering a close study of his actions and ideological commitment, this book argues that, despite claims of being ideologically neutral, Macron actually represents a new form of right-wing politics in France.
“Devellennes’ impressive mastery of political theory enables him to deliver a highly original interpretation of Macron’s ideological politics as constituting a distinctly new type of political Right in France.” Susan Collard, University of Sussex
“This book marries the author's expertise in political thought and theory with a shrewd assessment of Macron's ideology and political practice. This makes for an illuminating and thought-provoking read.” Helen Drake, Loughborough University London
Charles Devellennes is Senior Lecturer in Political and Social Thought at the University of Kent.
