Klasičan vladar. François Mitterrand u zrcalu komparativne teorije vladavine
The classic Ruler

Summary/Abstract: The author poses the question: what makes Francois Mitterrand the “classic” type of ruler i.e. what makes him above-the-average contemporary politician. Following the well-documented analysis of the entire period of his rule, the author concludes: history will reveal Mitterrand’s various masks, but never his true face. He exploited the classical mise en scene of power, so his true persona should be sought in the interplay of his numerous disguises. Mitterrand stands out among the contemporary political figures in the ability to use his power to ward off all attempts at its usurpation, thus transforming his own power into the memory of the coming generations. Autor postavlja pitanje: Što čini Françoisa Mitterranda “klasičnim” tipom vladara, tj. što ga ističe nad prosječno određenje suvremenog političara. Nakon dokumentirane analize čitavog razdoblja njegove vladavine, autor zaključuje: povijest će pokazati različite Mitterrandove maske, a nikada njegovo pravo lice. Njemu je uspjela klasična inscenacija moći, stoga njegov pravi lik treba tražiti u igri njegovih brojnih maski. Među suvremenim političkim moćnicima Mitterrand se ističe time što je pomoću moći otklonio sva posezanja za vlastitom moći, čime je vlastitu moć preobrazio u sjećanje potomstva.
