Sarkozysm (''Sarkozysme'') is the name commonly given to the policies and political agenda of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, including his presidential policies between 2007 and 2012. It can also refer to the supporters of Nicolas Sarkozy within the centre-right Les Republicains (LR). ==Ideology== Nicolas Sarkozy's platform for the 2007 presidential election was the fruit of at least five years of work by over 250 intellectuals and experts〔(La machine à idées de Sarkozy. ) Nonfiction.fr, 12/12/07〕 under the auspices of Emmanuelle Mignon, who is sometimes referred to as the "brain" of Sarkozysm.〔(« Emmanuelle Mignon, le “cerveau du sarkozysme” » ) ''Le Figaro'', 07/01/2008〕 Although Sarkozy declared himself to be above existing theories and political ideologies, he nevertheless associated his ideology and political agenda with the Gaullist tradition of Charles de Gaulle and the former Rally for the Republic (RPR).〔(Sarkozy, gaulliste sans famille ) ''lexpress.fr'' 10/11/2006〕 However, Sarkozy envisioned his agenda as representing a clear break with the policies and orientations of his predecessor and political nemesis, President Jacques Chirac. Indeed, Sarkozysm sees itself as a ''rupture'' (break) with Chirac's leadership of the right and has denounced the alleged "immobilism" of Chirac's presidency. Some observers like liberal economist Jacques Marseille or journalist Alain Duhamel have considered Sarkozysm to be a mix of modern Bonapartism and pragmatism.〔(« Qu'est-ce que le Sarkozysme ? » ), ''Le Point'', 10/05/2007.〕 According to Pierre Giacometti, the core values of Sarkozysm are: a certain work ethic (''valeur travail''), the nation-state and voluntarism with a dose of personality cult.〔 Former MEP Jean-Louis Bourlanges described Sarkozy's ideology as a mix of economic liberalism and Jacobinism,〔 although this did not preclude Sarkozy, as President in November 2008, to bail out troubled banks or create a sovereign fund of 20 billion euros to finance the development of businesses who could not finance themselves through the traditional banking system. French philosopher Pierre Musso, in his book ''Le Sarkoberlusconisme'', claims that Sarkozysm is comparable to the policies of Silvio Berlusconi in Italy: a political 'break' with the methods of the past, a common emphasis on a certain work ethic, economic liberalism with a dose of dirigisme (or Colbertism), and a pro-American foreign policy. A relatively unique specificity of Sarkozysm, in its earlier years, was a so-called policy of ''ouverture'', whereby Sarkozy actively recruited certain supporters or members of the centre-left Socialist Party (PS) to his government. Left-wing personalities including Bernard Kouchner, Éric Besson, Fadela Amara, Frédéric Mitterrand, Jean-Marie Bockel, Jean-Pierre Jouyet or Martin Hirsch all served as ministers in Sarkozy's governments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sarkozysm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
