Technocratic Populism a la Française? The Roots and Mechanisms of Emmanuel Macron's Success

Original language description

This article focuses on the roots and mechanisms of Macron&apos;s success, arguing that in 2017 two conditions were essentialin Macron&apos;s rise-the implosion of the established system of the French Fifth Republic in which the two main parties werealternating in power; and the rise of anti-establishment populist challengers on the right and on the left (cf. Stockemer,2017; Zulianello, 2020). It was anti-establishment appeal that put Macron on the map, but the appeal to technocraticc ompetence that won him the presidency. Technocratic populism transcends the left-right cleavage and, as a result, has abroader appeal than its left- and right-wing counterparts. Emmanuel Macron was an insider taking on the (crumbling) sys-tem and positioning himself as an outsider-refusing the traditional labels, including centrism, elite recruitment patterns, and mediated politics. Instead,Macron and La Republique en Marche attempted to create new forms of responsiveness by &apos;giving voice to the people,&apos; while relying on technocratic competence as a legitimation mechanism. In power EmmanuelMacron attempts to balance responsiveness and responsibility.
