Emmanuel Macron's France

Following the 2017 presidential election victory of Emmanuel Macron, one of the youngest political leaders in the democratic world, we will undertake a retrospective on this surprising event for France.

What are the political, cultural and social reasons for this unpredictable victory?
What are the constituting elements of "Macronism": a new type of leadership? a new way of governing? a new type of political organization?

What are the elements of continuity and change, as far as the Fifth Republic is concerned, to understand this political novelty?
