Resumen
Descripción
Desde el comienzo de la Gran Recesión, casi una década atrás, nuevas tendencias han surgido en la política doméstica de la mayoría de los países alrededor del globo. La desaceleración de la provisión de beneficios materiales por parte de las economías globalizadas a sus ciudadanos redundó en un quiebre discursivo al interior de esos Estados, en los que volvieron a alzarse las viejas banderas del nacionalismo y el proteccionismo. Esta tensión entre la apertura cosmopolita y el aislacionismo soberanista se ha configurado como el gran clivaje de comienzos del siglo XXI. En este marco, las elecciones presidenciales y legislativas en Francia de 2017 son un ejemplo de cómo esas contradicciones se han hecho manifiestas al interior de un país: cambiando las dimensiones discursiva y programática de las campañas electorales, interpelando a las élites gubernamentales, sacudiendo sistemas de partidos que parecían estables e incluso delineando nuevas lealtades de representación política en la ciudadanía.
Since the Great Recession, almost a decade ago, new trends in domestic politics have appeared in most countries across the globe. Being globalized economies incapable of keeping up with the provision of significant material benefits to their citizens, the old flags of nationalism and protectionism surged to produce a rhetorical breakdown within those States. This tension between cosmopolitan economic openness and sovereign isolationism has become the protagonic cleavage in the beginning of this century. In this context, the 2017 presidential and legislative elections in France constitute an example of how these contradictions have manifested inside a country: changing the programmatic and discursive dimensions of electoral campaigns, tackling governmental elites, shaking party systems that seemed stable and even outlining new political representation loyalties for citizenry.
