Event Details

Gérard Grunberg is senior researcher in political science and adviser of the President of Sciences Po. He has been until 1997 Deputy Director and Vice Provost for Research at Sciences Po.  Mr. Grunberg will address the evolution of the French political landscape since President Sarkozy was elected in May. Is the Fifth Republic becoming de facto a presidential regime?  What are the implications of Sarkozy's openness policy ("ouverture à gauche") and how far will it go? Does the Socialist Party have a future in a France that chose to elect Sarkozy?  And, does the Front National still represent a real threat? Mr. Grunberg will offer his insights into the political, social and cultural trends underlying Sarkozy's first months at the Elysée Palace, before opening the floor to questions.
