This book, first published in 1984, examines France's independent
nuclear weapons programme of the 1980s alongside the French peace
movement, which was almost totally absent - in contrast to the
peace protests of the US and the rest of Europe. This book analyses
this unusual pattern of defence and dissent, and assesses its
likely development. It looks at the evolvement of French post-war
defence policy, and discusses the French peace movement, attempting
to explain why it was so weak.

Europeans on Europe offers an assessment of the hopes, fears,
expectations and preparedness of Britain, France and Germany at the
approach of the 1992 deadline. It examines both at the national and
European level the three key areas of business and economics,
foreign and defence policy, and politics and political culture,
both country by country and in a comparative mode.
This book offers an assessment of the hopes, fears, expectations
and preparedness of Britain, France and Germany at the approach of
the 1992 deadline. It examines, both at the national and European
level, the three key areas of business and economics, foreign and
defence policy, and politics and political culture, both country by
country and in a comparative mode. The questions it addresses are
the following: to what extent has Europe began to impact on each of
these societies? In what ways have national cultures, mentalities
and practices begun to change as a result of Europe? Are they
changing in the same direction, or are they producing an
anti-European reaction, and what is likely to be the effect of such
forces?
The early 1980s brought dramatic changes in East-West relations.
The decade began with the death of Yugoslavia's Tito, the birth of
Poland's Solidarity trade union, and the U.S. election of Ronald
Reagan as president. These key developments, together with the
growing financial insolvency of the Soviet bloc and shifts in power
in the Kremlin culminating in the election of Mikhail Gorbachev as
general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in
1985 signalled the end of an era. Since then, U.S. relations with
Europe have charted a new course, influenced especially by the
dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, the expansion of NATO, and the
growing strength of the European Union. This volume analyzes U.S.
relations with Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Russia, Poland, and
Ukraine, and examines the new role for NATO in the post-Cold War
world and the evolving dynamics in the U.S.-EU partnership. Through
their assessment of mutual perceptions, evolving interests, and
clashing agendas, the contributors offer a fresh and thoughtful
exploration of the relationship between the United States and the
major European states.
