About this event
After Macron's political heist of 2017, this seminar will discuss the reconfiguration of French political parties in a presidential campaign that has been slow to start, with ever changing issues at its heart. Both on the left and the right of the political spectrum, it can be argued that tectonic plates are at work that could durably change the French political landscape.
(Please note that the picture used does not represent all candidates and is only used to give a flavour of the French campaign. Candidates Roussel and Jadot in particular will be included in the discussion).
This seminar will also be the opportunity to remember Professor Robert Elgie whose work on semi-presidentialism remains unrivalled and who often contributed to this seminar in the past.
The speakers will be:
Dr Elodie Fabre, QUB: ‘French political parties 2017-2022’
Dr Dónal Hassett, UCC (online): ‘The shift towards the right of French political parties’
Dr Emmanuelle Schön-Quinlivan, UCC : ‘The issue of Europe in the French presidential campaign’
The seminar will be open by Professor John Cryan, UCC's Vice President for Research. Professor Gary Murphy from DCU will close proceedings.
This seminar will be hybrid. The link to connect at 6pm:
