The Right Revolution for France

Nicolas Sarkozy won the French presidency because he understood better than anyone that, 39 years after May 1968, France is in the mood for work, not love. But Sarkozy will have to act responsibly in proving that he really can change the country and reconcile the French with themselves and with France’s position in a globalized world.

Is France about to exchange the fake revolution of May 1968 for a sham counter-revolution this year, or have the French given Nicolas Sarkozy a mandate for real change to modernize their country? Why has Sarkozy won election as France’s president, and what are the likely consequences of his victory for France, Europe, and the world?
