An Investigation Of The Reasons For The Rise Of French Nationalism

In the 2017 French presidential election,the National Rally emerged as an important force in French politics,which also marked the climax of development of French populism.As a far-right populist party,the emergence and growth of the National Rally are profound political and economic factors and complex international situation factors.In the framework of supply and demand theory,this article examines the reasons for the development of the National Rally from both the supply and demand sides.On the supply side: after coming into power,Marina Le Pen actively adjusted the National Rally program,formulated a suitable campaign program for the crises facing France under globalization,actively participated in political activities,and won support and response from the public,which laid a solid foundation for the political victory of the National Rally.On the demand side;new characteristics of globalization have emerged in the new period,and its negative effects have been constantly appearing.Under the impact of globalization,France is facing a major change in the political,economic and social environment,and the French people have also been impacted and affected.Public dissatisfaction with the government's immigration policies,social order,and European policies has led to alienation between the government and the people.The decline of the French economy under de-industrialization and the rejection and resentment of the population by immigrants and elites constituted the soil for the growth of populism.The National Rally,as a representative of European right-wing populism,symbolizes that the development of populism in France and even Europe has entered a new stage.The National Rally has successfully achieved changes in the political platform,the success of political elections and the complete mobilization of the masses.Based on the significant breakthrough of the presidential election,the National Rally has successfully achieved political transformation,and has played an important role in changing the French political landscape,provoking social opposition and affecting European integration.As a unique political force,it will continue to play an important role in French politics.
