Abstract

The paper provides an analysis of the political style and governance of the French President Emmanuel Macron. It deals with the question of whether his term of office represents a discontinuity with the presidential tradition of the Fifth Republic and a shift from a semi-presidential republic to a presidential system. The central argument is that although Emmanuel Macron seeks to represent a vigorous presidential authority and has ambitions to promote a strong verticality of the executive power, the political system of the Fifth Republic has not been formally more presidentialized after 2017.
