Περίληψη: The paper examines the dual nature of Macron's Europeanism – his balance between republicanism and Europeanism. Using a qualitative methodology and an interpretive approach, some of Macron's most important speeches from 2017 to 2024 and some of his policies were analysed. The theoretical framework – realist constructivism – is used as an analytical tool for analysing Emmanuel Macron's policies. The paper also analyses the influence of the political context, Macron's political predecessors and the EU polycrisis on his Europeanism, as well as the role and relationship of values and interests in shaping his Europeanism. Furthermore, two initiatives – the European Political Community and the European Sky Shield Initiative – and their contribution to these relationships are exemplified. The paper concludes that Macron has clearly combined these two approaches with his plea for hard power and focus on protecting security interests on the one hand and his emphasis on the importance of values and the protection of norms on the other.
