How The French Presidential Elections Will Affect The Entire World

Hello my French brothers and sisters! Dark times have befallen our precious land, and pure chaos has ensued. I write to the people in France in hopes of establishing a new land. A land that can be looked upon proudly with eyes of great virtue. In order to achieve our wildest dreams we must sort through the rubbish that has landed us here in the first place. How will we as a society react to the many things that have been dealt to the people of France? Perhaps our great fight ends in bloodshed, and broken promises. Or perhaps we could take heed of the laws and policies our fellow Europeans across the Sea. I had the pleasure of visiting one of the cities in America that the citizens take so much pride in: Boston, Massachusetts. A port town on the North-Eastern coast that was a large part of the American Revolution. It was also home to the Notorious Boston Massacre. There are a number of things that I enjoyed about my trip, but pointing out the differences between Boston and France had to be the most delectable part of my trip. The way in which they practice religion is something to behold. Their new Constitution is also no laughing matter, and lastly the many things Americans find fun is mesmerizing, and also repulsive. America is a tremendous place and I cannot wait to guide you through my journey and inferences.

In this paper I am going to concentrate on comparing and contrasting how America and France’s economic and political policies choices combined with their cultural and historic backgrounds helped their current place on the word stage. It is undoubted that the United States and France are two of the strongest and most competitive countries in the world. Although they have almost the same economic system and same concept, they still have very different current situations which are closely bound up with their historic backgrounds and political choices. Through this paper I am going to discuss this topic through several sections.

The French Government is set up similarly to our own. Our forefathers used the systems of government from the French government to create what we use now in America. France is ruled by a Republican government; also known as the French Republic. They have what is equal to a President, but the title used more prominently is Prime Minister. The Prime Minister of France today is Manuel Valls. In addition, the Prime Minister has a Council of Ministers at his aid to help organize and structure the government. The French are exceedingly controlling and rule-governed people. Their uncertainty avoidance is rated at a high level, meaning that they like to have their rules and a foundation. As said in the article “What About France”, it articulates that “The French don’t like surprises. Structure and planning are required. Before meetings and negotiations, they like to receive all necessary information. As a consequence, the French are good in developing complex technologies and systems in a stable environment, such

Since 1789, increasing discontent for food shortage and dire living conditions in France triggered massive protests against the Old Regime. By overthrowing Louis XVI and absolute monarchy, French citizens began to march toward democracy. However, the desire for participating in political decisions became so radical that fueled by internal and external conflicts, people shifted away from the principles they drew up. To restore stability and enforce laws, the government turned more centralized. Unlike what the revolution intended initially, its ending with Napoleon’s dictatorship totally resembled what it was like before. Such turmoil throughout the revolution merely undermined democracy despite its original aim to increase the public voice in politics.

Conservatives, Feuillants, Jacobins and the People of France, the time for peace has come. Our once great nation is now deeply wounded and divided. If we want to heal this nation, we must first heal ourselves. We must be wounded healers, instead of the wounded warriors that we are. We must set aside our differences and work together to make France into the great nation it once was.

Historically, France has had a much harder and rockier road to established democracy than America. France’s government has been through many phases characterized as the Five Republics. The constitution of the Fifth Republic (which is in place today) was drawn up several weeks after Gen. Charles de Gaulle was invested as the last prime minister of the Fourth Republic. The new constitution, which was adopted by an 80 percent vote in a popular referendum held in September 1958, was tailor made for de Gaulle. It contained much of what the past four republics had such as both a president and prime minister, as well as a bicameral legislature in the form of the National Assembly and the Senate(4). It is important to note here that France has both a president and a prime minister thus making the Head of Government and Chief of Staff two separate roles, respectively. This is what makes France a semi-presidential system

When you think about France, what do you usually envision? Do you think of the center of fashion and design, the rolling vineyards of Bordeaux, or maybe the smooth language of love? Better yet do you think about a government formed with the Constitution that was in many ways is a framework for that of the United States of America, or a formidable military and an affluent economy. You would be correct if you had said any of the above. However, did you know that 1940’s France was a powder keg teetering on the verge of chaos in a tumultuous world: led by a vastly weakened military, a marionette government, and a virtually nonexistent economy?

In 2016, the United States is observing the start of the presidential campaigns of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump. In my lifetime, I have not observed a more polarizing election for our country. The populace of this nation may be more divided than any in the history of United States politics. Depending on where you stand in your political values, the choice of who will run this country for the next four years could be devastating. On November 8, 2016, the people will make a decision that, for better or worse, will not only decide the national leadership but will affect our foreign policy as well.

Abramson, Aldrich, Paolino and Rohde wrote about the third party along with third party candidates such as Wallace, Anderson and Perot. However, no third party candidate has come close to winning the presidency. This has to do with the electoral rules creating barriers for these candidates to not win. The authors looked at George C. Wallace (third party candidate in 1968), John B Anderson (third party candidate in 1980) and H. Ross Perot (third party candidate in 1992). The authors looked at a survey research data on the individual-level behavior. Towards the end, the authors discussed the presidential elections of France in a comparison with the United States. From 1832 to 1992, thirteen third-party candidates received either

While years of consistent institutional design have allowed for the easy creation of new parties over the years, they have not always been a vehicle for widespread support that is necessary for mass representation. These parties need additional support to rise in popularity; ERPs are gaining this support. As Greven notes, “In the United Kingdom, the UK independence Party (UKIP), founded in 1993, has been consistent in its anti-EU and anti-immigration message and is now profiting from changed public opinion.” The same is true with the National Front party in France, now predicted to win the first round of France’s presidential election.

Are you tired of being blamed for being blamed for France's problems? Are you tired of not being protected? Maybe you're just tired of things not being equal. We all need to rally together as one.

The modern French government is a unique political entity like no other in history. In my research paper I aim to show that while France's system of government appears democratic it is in actuality not. I plan to demonstrate it is more of an oligarchy than a polyarchy, polyarchy being fundamentally necessary for democracy. Drawing on research from conflict theorists I plan to show that France is not truly democratic. I plan to first draw a parallel between research on France as a pluralist state and Robert Dahl's New Haven study by showing that France like New Haven appears to be a pluralist democracy. I then plan to show just as G. William Domhoff did with Dahl's original study, that the same inequality in power exists in France as in New

     France, which is the largest nation in Western Europe, is a presidential republic. France is a very important nation in Europe and it continues to be involved in contemporary policy issues. Helping the world as one of the great trading nations, France is a very important trading partner with the United States. Not only is France important to the United States, they are also important to countries all over the world. Their abundance of both mineral and agricultural resources make them a very important supplier of products all over the world. I chose to report on France because it is an interesting county and I wanted to learn more about it.
