This book describes the evolution of French defence policy since
the end of the Cold War. For the past thirty years there have been
significant changes to French defence policy as a result of several
contextual evolutions. Changes include shifts in the global balance
of power, new understandings of the notion of international
security, economic downturns, and developments in European
integration. Yet despite these changes, the purpose of France’s
grand strategy and its main principles have remained remarkably
stable over time. This book identifies the incentives,
representations and objectives of French defence policy The authors
examine the general mechanisms that influence policy change and
military transformation in democracies, the importance of
status-seeking in international relations, the processes of
strategy-making by a middle power, and the dilemmas and challenges
of security cooperation. By doing so the book raises a number of
questions related to the ways states adjust (or not) their security
policies in a transformed international system. This book makes
French-language sources available to non-French-speaking readers
and contributes to a better understanding of a country that is at
the forefront of Europe’s external action. This book will be of
great interest to students of defence studies, French politics,
military studies, security studies, and IR in general.
