Mi-figue mi-raisin, c’est-\u00e0-dire pas franchement pro-Brown, le Times<\/em> de Londres d’aujourd’hui<\/a> pr\u00e9sente la journ\u00e9e d’hier \u00e0 Bruxelles, au sommet de l’UE, comme un match Brown versus<\/em> Sarkozy; match pour la popularit\u00e9 aupr\u00e8s de la presse, \u00e0 celui qui paraitra le plus en faire, le plus ma\u00eetre des \u00e9v\u00e9nements, le plus inspirateur et conducteur de l’Europe en m\u00eame temps que de son pays et ainsi de suite.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t(Le Times<\/em>, dans son appr\u00e9ciation, ne partage pas l’enthousiasme nationaliste de certains organes plus proches des travaillistes. Le Times<\/em> conserve, dans ce cas, une approche tr\u00e8s marqu\u00e9e par la politique int\u00e9rieure, et Brown est un travailliste alors que le Times<\/em> est proche des conservateurs.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abGordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy issued rival plans to rescue the global financial system yesterday as they jousted over who should take charge of far-reaching regulatory reforms.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe French President sprung into action after Mr Brown issued a detailed document that challenges European leaders to move to stage two of his bank rescue plan, and calls for a new Bretton Woods-style conference to reorganise financial regulation.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbNot to be outdone, several hours later Mr Sarkozy handed out his own two-page paper demanding a global overhaul of the financial system and a new form of capitalism.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbLike Mr Brown, he also called for a meeting of key international players before the end of the year and referred to a new Breton Woods, saying that this repeated his ideas from a speech to the United Nations last month.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbMr Sarkozy could not compete with Mr Brown’s claim to have been first with the call for a new world order, which the Prime Minister said he initially made after the Asian financial crisis of 1998. But the French President last night gave a press conference spelling out his aims to tackle tax havens and hedge funds, after he has discussed European plans with President Bush this weekend.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tTout cela peut avoir une allure d\u00e9risoire par rapport aux enjeux poursuivis, \u00e0 l’intensit\u00e9 de la crise, etc. Ce n’est pas tout \u00e0 fait le cas. Il est assur\u00e9 que, par la force des circonstances, des habilet\u00e9s diverses, du poids des pays qu’ils repr\u00e9sentent, les deux hommes jouent un r\u00f4le tr\u00e8s important dans la crise, dans le cadre europ\u00e9en. D’un c\u00f4t\u00e9, les positions de Brown ont \u00e9t\u00e9 fortement incurv\u00e9es dans un sens qu’on qualifierait avec certaines pr\u00e9cautions d’anti-lib\u00e9ral avec ses d\u00e9cisions interventionnistes, voire ses mesures de nationalisation. D’un autre c\u00f4t\u00e9, il est \u00e9vident que Brown garde certaines orientations tr\u00e8s lib\u00e9rales, notamment dans le cas de son insistance \u00e0 \u00e9tablir, dans le plan grandiose de r\u00e9forme mondiale qu’il propose, des r\u00e8gles de libre-\u00e9change inspir\u00e9es des n\u00e9gociations de Doha. (Une id\u00e9e \u00e0 laquelle la patte du nouveau-venu dans son gouvernement, Peter Mandelson, ne serait pas \u00e9trang\u00e8re.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abMr Brown surprised many with a call to restart world trade talks, which collapsed in the summer. Protectionism may give some countries a short-term advantage but in the long run it will not help. The message must go out that this beggar-my-neighbour’ approach of the past is of no use in the future and one big symbol of that would be a world trade deal saying that protectionism is unacceptable. Some may have detected the hand of Lord Mandelson, the Business Secretary, who strove hard but failed to broker a world trade deal while EU Trade Commissioner.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLa concurrence Brown-Sarko devrait pousser Sarko, pour reprendre la main au niveau m\u00e9diatique, \u00e0 afficher une attitude critique vis-\u00e0-vis de ce pan conserv\u00e9 du lib\u00e9ralisme dans les projets de Brown. (Dans le cas de l’Europe, notablement moins prot\u00e9g\u00e9e que les USA, cette attitude libre-\u00e9changiste de Brown peut \u00eatre, c’est le moins qu’on puisse dire, l’objet de critique, et, par ailleurs, elle sera vuln\u00e9rable \u00e0 cette critique.) Une certaine protection de l’Europe est un des axes de l’agitation sarkozienne. La crise \u00e9conomique qui se d\u00e9veloppe devrait aider Sarko \u00e0 contrer Brown sur ce terrain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tDans ce cas comme dans divers autres, la concurrence entre les deux hommes appara\u00eet ainsi b\u00e9n\u00e9fique, quant au r\u00e9sultat qu’on peut objectivement en attendre. On rencontre encore une fois l’id\u00e9e que les acteurs politiques, acteurs remarquablement fr\u00e9n\u00e9tiques ces derniers temps, peuvent tenir sinon jouer un r\u00f4le int\u00e9ressant d’une fa\u00e7on indirecte, par les effets qu’ils suscitent, volontairement ou pas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
