The French Fifth Republic Presidency has emerged as one of the most
powerful executives in western society. This book is a study of how
the power of the Presidency was created and maintained. It
investigates the political skills of the office holders and the way
in which the coalition supporting the Presidency has been brought
together and sustained (and how it has been, on occasion, lost).
The book's analysis of leadership in the Fifth Republic draws out
the skills and manipulation of the successive presidents as well as
the resources of the cultural and political contexts. Amongst the
topics considered as part of the presidential system are the
Constitutions, the referendum, foreign policy, Europe, May'68,
Giscard d'Estaing's centrist septennate, 'cohabitation' and
neo-gaullism. These issues are treated as crucial elements in
Presidential power and help to illustrate the foundations of
Presidential authority. The main contention is that the presidency
has been created and sustained by political acts of a high order
which have involved the mobilization of certain symbols, culture,
and political forces.
