By AFPMore by this AuthorPro-EU centrist Emmanuel Macron takes on far-right candidate Marine Le Pen in the second-round run-off of France's presidential election on Sunday. The second round has boiled down to a battle between the pro-European, pro-globalisation vision of Macron and Le Pen's hostility to the EU and NATO. If Le Pen wins, it would further shake up the West's post war order, already rattled by Britain's vote to leave the EU and Donald Trump's election to the White House. The president is elected in a direct popular vote of one or two rounds. Every French presidential election since 1965 has gone to a second round.
