The current French president has more possibilities to strengthen his position within the political system of the Fifth republic than his predecessors before the year 2000. This is the conclusion of this paper. At the turn of the millennium, French citizens have approved in a referendum the reduction of presidential term from seven to five years.

Tato studie proto zkoumá, do jaké míry se role hlavy státu díky této změně posílila a jak s upraveným rozložením sil zacházeli tři poslední francouzští prezidenti - ...
