- Summary:
-
"This volume makes the distinction between the fundamental objectives of French security policy and the tactical adaptations made to achieve them as the central theme that gives coherence. The primary emphasis is on France's place in the world and on how efforts have been made to restore and then maintain claims to national greatness and elevated global standing. It also offers detailed examinations of various military interventions both multilateral as in the case of the Gulf and former-Yugoslavia and unilaterally as in sub-Saharan Africa." "His text brings together the foreign policy and security policy dimensions that relate to France's relations with the wider world, and France's global ambitions which have been so much of a stimulus to the French political elite during the Fifth Republic."--BOOK JACKET.
