Epilogue: The Gaullist Legacy and the Post-Cold War World --Notes --Glossary of French Terms Used --Selected Bibliography --IndexAs France begins to confront the new challenges of the post-Cold War era, the time has come to examine how French security policy has evolved since Charles de Gaulle set it on an independent course in the 1960's. Philip Gordon shows that the Gaullist model, contrary to widely held beliefs, has lived on--but that its inherent inconsistencies have grown more acute with increasing European unification, the diminishing American military role in Europe, and related strains on French military budgets. The question today is whether the Gaullist legacy will enable a strong and confident France to play a full role in Europe's new security arrangements or whether France, because of its will to independence, is destined to play an isolated, national role.Gordon analyzes military doctrines, strategies, and budgets from the 1960's to the 1990's, and also the evolution of French policy from the early debates about NATO and the European Community to the Persian Gulf War. He reveals how and why Gaullist ideas have for so long influenced French security policy and examines possible new directions for France in an increasingly united but potentially unstable Europe.Princeton studies in international history and politics.Cold WarFranceForeign relations1945-FranceMilitary policyFranceRelationsEuropeEuropeRelationsFranceCold War.944.083/6Gordon Philip H.1962-1512395MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779901603321A certain idea of France3756520UNINA02884nam 2200685Ia 450 991022224220332120251116143149.01-134-85060-31-138-42448-X1-134-85061-11-280-20402-80-203-42530-810.4324/9780203425305 (CKB)111056485520628(EBL)166404(OCoLC)59225093(SSID)ssj0000079968(PQKBManifestationID)11115819(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000079968(PQKBWorkID)10076547(PQKB)11182393(MiAaPQ)EBC166404(Au-PeEL)EBL166404(CaPaEBR)ebr10061018(CaONFJC)MIL20402(OCoLC)52082117(EXLCZ)9911105648552062819931216d1994 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrGlobal environmental issues a climatological approach /David D.
