This book analyses and compares instances of the diffusion of
political norms and ideas in the history of Franco-German
relations. While this relationship is often described as a history
evolving from enmity over reconciliation to friendship, the book
uses the concept of diffusion as a complementary analytical
perspective to emphasize how political norms and ideas originating
in one society have influenced the other, especially in periods of
intergovernmental conflict. Established in International Relations
to explain transnational normative change in contemporary contexts,
the framework of diffusion is heuristically useful to explore how
various types of actors have contributed, using analytically
different mechanisms, to normative change across the Rhine. The
book presents eight case studies featuring various contents and
mechanisms of ideational diffusion taken from three contexts of
Franco-German history, including the French Revolution, the
Franco-Prussian War, and Franco-German rapprochement after 1945.
Arguing that phenomena that are often seen as genuinely 'national'
evolutions, such as German nationalism or the French system of
primary education, cannot be understood without taking into account
the reception and emulation of norms from across the Rhine, the
book should help students and scholars to overcome the limits of
methodological nationalism when studying bilateral relationships,
in the Franco-German context and elsewhere.
