<strong>Neo</strong>-<strong>Bonapartism</strong>? A <strong>parallel</strong> <strong>between</strong> <strong>Nicolas</strong> <strong>Sarkozy</strong> <strong>and</strong> Napoleon III<br />

Acknowledgements<br />

This capstone project could not have been properly completed without the help <strong>and</strong> support of<br />

several AUI’s faculty, <strong>and</strong> namely:<br />

Dr. Jack Kalpakian, academic advisor:<br />

Thank you for your five-year unconditional support <strong>and</strong> academic assistance. I really<br />

appreciated your pedagogic guidance throughout my curriculum at AUI.<br />

Thank you also for the hour-long discussions about US <strong>and</strong> French politics: I might today<br />

say that you confirmed my penchant for French politics, a state of affairs that ended up in<br />

this capstone research.<br />

Thank you finally for being one of the early supporters of the website idea.<br />

Dr. Eric Ross, capstone class teacher:<br />

Thank you for your precious guidance on all the capstone-related problems I encountered<br />

throughout the semester.<br />

Thank you also for letting me burst into your office without appointment for my<br />

“technical” concerns all semester long.<br />

Thank you for your accurate <strong>and</strong> thoughtful advices <strong>and</strong> suggestions: I appreciated your<br />

professionalism <strong>and</strong> availability.<br />

Thank you finally for succeeding in making this capstone experience a unique one.<br />

Dr. <strong>Nicolas</strong> Migliorino, capstone’s supervisor:<br />

Thank you for first <strong>and</strong> foremost for bringing in the Bonapartist ingredient into this<br />

capstone research - I would have missed an important part in my tackling of today’s French<br />

politics without your initial recommendation.<br />

Thank you for your kind supervision, <strong>and</strong> mostly for the meticulousness of your reviews<br />

<strong>and</strong> your overall theoretical framing. I really appreciated it.<br />

Dr. Bouziane Zaid, capstone’s second reader:<br />

Thank you for your involvement in this capstone research since day 1: your continuous<br />

support <strong>and</strong> assistance helped me in keeping the effort sustained all semester long.<br />

Thank you finally for your precious guidance, especially on the heavy “political<br />

communication” chapter: I sincerely would have dashed it off without your framing help.<br />

A website dedicated to this project is available starting Dec 7 th 2010 at: http://www.aui.ma/personal/~Y.Assaoui/<br />
