与全球化和欧洲一体化进程相关的新的结构潜力，使法国政党体系中的反对派结构发生了深远的变化。虽然新设计的第五共和国机构在其存在的头二十年里逐渐带来了“两极多党制”，但新的文化冲突和欧洲一体化问题的日益突出导致了左翼和右翼政党的日益不团结，国民阵线作为一个强大的新行动者的出现，以及政党体系分裂的一般过程。本文以1978年至2002年间的四次竞选活动为基础，分析了政党竞争背后的意识形态层面的转变以及政党在这一空间中的地位，并评估了这对政党选举成功和政党制度总体构成的影响。
New structural potentials related to the processes of globalisation and European integration have produced far-reaching changes in the structure of opposition in the French party system. Whereas the newly designed institutions of the Fifth Republic progressively brought about a ‘bipolar multipartism’ in the first two decades of their existence, the rising prominence of new cultural conflicts and of the issue of European integration have led to an increasing disunity of the parties within the left and right, to the emergence of the Front National as a powerful new actor, as well as to a general process of party system fragmentation. On the basis of four electoral campaigns between 1978 and 2002, this article analyses the transformation of the ideological dimensions underlying party competition and the positions of parties within this space, and assesses the implications for the electoral success of parties and for the general make-up of the party system.
