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. 410 0$aPrinceton studies in international history and politics. 606 $aCold War 607 $aFrance$xForeign relations$y1945- 607 $aFrance$xMilitary policy 607 $aFrance$xRelations$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xRelations$zFrance 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a944.083/6 700 $aGordon$b Philip H.$f1962-$01512395 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779901603321 996 $aA certain idea of France$93756520 997 $aUNINA
