Outlines

(up to 5 points)

-The conflict between ideologies (left or right) has come to an end.

New conflicts have arisen as regards environment and digitalization

vs Earth destruction, EU and Euro vs nationalism and protectionism,

and rich vs poor.

- Macron theory is consistent throughout from labour law problems to protection of the environment.

- Macron aims at revitalization of economy among the rich people and after that at the society with lower unemployment rates.

- Macron’s stance countering Trump’s protectionist moves by supporting

internationalism such as protection of environment brings about a lot of

implications as to how Japan should take its stance in the world.
