The Economist named France as its country of the year on Thursday Dec 21,2017,
saying new President Emmanuel Macron had upset the odds to strike a
victory for open societies and reform.
The London-based weekly news magazine said the battle between open and closed visions of society was the most important in the world in 2017 and Macron had defeated the "drawbridge-raisers".
"In 2017, France defied all expectations," The Economist said in an editorial in its December 23-January 5 edition.
The centrist Macron`s successful presidential election campaign, without the backing of a traditional party, followed by his start-up Republic on the Move (LREM) movement winning the most seats in the National Assembly, was a "stunning upset", the magazine said
