On The Popular Show podcast, Dr Charles Devellennes discusses how recent developments in French politics align with his analysis of Macron’s first term in office in his most recent publication.<\/p>\n
He describes why Macron can be understood as the representative of the new right, as the fulfilment of neoliberalism in France. This new right is built on a new security regime, which has made the state of emergency permanent, as seen during the Covid-19 pandemic and the gilets jaunes<\/em> crisis. Macron himself is discussed as a politician of the future, because he combines the technocratic elements of an elite remote from the people, with a populist angle that appeals to a particular public: mostly well-off, older voters who form the core popular support needed by the regime.<\/p>\n Dr Devellennes further deconstructs the ideological foundation of the Macron R\u00e9gim in his recently published book,\u00a0‘The Macron R\u00e9gime: The Ideology of the New Right in France.’ \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Listen to the podcast on Spotify<\/a> or Apple Podcasts here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2022\/11\/The-Macron-Regime-.jpg\")
