Abstract

When Emmanuel Macron won the French presidency a little over a year ago, he was viewed by many of his supporters as an 'antidote to populism' and as someone capable of implementing an ambitious reform programme. Sam Maynard and Ilona Lahdelma compare Macron's period in office with another President who came to power in similar circumstances: Mauricio Macri, the President of Argentina. They write that in both cases, promises of reviving society with a combination of liberalism and conservatism have produced less than revolutionary results.
