The electoral conclusions of 2024, marked by the election of Donald Trump in the USA, are still largely based on «identity» categories. This approach, far from being trivial, influences the perception of society and reduces the diversity of opinions.
THE AMERICAN DREAM IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION (1/4). Increasing polarization, defeat of the polls and the Democrats... This series of articles aims to present some lessons to be learned from Donald Trump's new election as head of the United States.
Ever since the wave that brought Donald Trump to power, particularly since his challenge to the 2016 election result, American democracy seems to be going from bad to worse. Far from content with this, conservatives are ready to go even further.
The growing popularity of «populist» leaders in the Western world reflects a long-standing but ever-present divide between the elites and the people. This raises profound questions about what democracy should be. Gérard Araud, Chantal Delsol and David Goodhart help us do just that.

ARTICLE LONG FORMAT, Jean-David Ponci | On considère habituellement qu’avec Obama, les Etats-Unis commencent à renoncer à leur rôle de gendarmes du monde. Ce mouvement s’accélère avec Trump, dont le slogan «America First» sonne le repli des USA sur eux-mêmes. Toutefois, c’est curieusement à la fin du mandat de Trump qu’un nouveau pouvoir mondial, toujours en mains américaines, fait montre de sa puissance. Les GAFAM, acronyme pour les grandes entreprises Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon et Microsoft, censurent certains contenus pour des raisons politiques, révélant aux yeux du monde, scandalisé, qu’ils ne sont pas que des fournisseurs de service. Cette situation historique est propice à une réflexion sur les conditions à fournir pour garantir la liberté d’expression sur le Net. Analyse.
HUMOR BRIEFING, Antoine Bernhard | As early as 2016, the entire press - or almost all of it - made Trump its new scapegoat. It was declared over and over that he had «stolen» the American election, that he was illegitimate and that the United States was entering the darkest period of its history because of him. Four years on, the situation has hardly changed: anti-Trumpism is the only politically correct opinion. Any questioning of the majority discourse is scorned, immediately associated with the far right or conspiracy. It's time to give up this easy way of thinking.
ARTICLE LONG FORMAT, Clément Guntern | At the start of this new century, a new order is gradually taking hold: authoritarianism around the world is gaining in power, and the states claiming to be authoritarian are asserting themselves with increasing brutality. Russia and China are raising their voices and threatening reprisals against anyone who dares to criticize the state of democratic principles and human rights on their territory. While escalation with Russia remains measured, China is agitating, vituperating and sanctioning. For the time being, it is mainly on their own territories that these states are committing more and more crimes, but for powers with global ambitions, it is to be feared that this is an exportable model of governance. Democratic principles are now under direct threat. As a result, democratic states have a duty to respond firmly to authoritarian forces, while leaving the door open to collaboration.
LONG FORMAT ARTICLE, Clément Guntern | Now that Donald Trump's term in office is coming to an end, the question arises: what will he leave as a legacy to his country's history? His personality and political actions may have shocked or impressed, but he is nonetheless perpetuating a trend that has long been present: the national disunity and international decline of the United States.
