Book Description
This is a book on one of the most distinguished statesmen of the present century arles de Gaulle of France. The way he shaped the policy of his country towards Europe is the focus of this study the first from the pen of an Indian. In the numerous analyses of the internal and external policies of France during the de Gaulle era, the French President has been generally portrayed as unduly nationalistic, egoistic, and ambitious statesman. This book takes a different stand: his nationalism has been interpreted as conducive to European Unity; his aggressive and expansionist stance was not motivated militarily - he wanted to expand politically and culturally. The analysis is based mainly on the writings of de Gaulle; of course, other literature, available in French and in English has also been utilized. It examines in detail the major issues in his European policy, such as his conception of, and policy towards, European unity, his accomplishment of the Franco-German rapprochement, his opposition to Britain’s entry into the EEC, and his drive towards French nuclear independence. All this has been attempted in the context of the fast-changing political spectrum of Western Europe.

Two Strategies for Europe

Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
This timely book explores the often stormy French-U.S. relationship and the evolution of the Atlantic Alliance under the presidency of Charles de Gaulle (1958D1969). The first work on this subject to draw on previously inaccessible material from U.S. and French archives, the study offers a comprehensive analysis of Gaullist policies toward NATO and the United States during the 1960s, a period that reached its apogee with de GaulleOs dramatic decision in 1966 to withdraw from NATOOs integrated military arm. This launched the French policy of autonomy within NATO, which has since been adapted without having been abandoned. De GaulleOs policy often has been caricatured by admirers and detractors alike as an expression of nationalism or anti-Americanism. Yet Frederic Bozo argues that although it did reflect the GeneralOs quest for grandeur, it also, and perhaps more important, stemmed from a genuine strategy designed to build an independent Europe and to help overcome the system of blocs. Indeed, the author contends, de GaulleOs actions forced NATO to adapt to new strategic realities. Retracing the different phases of de GaulleOs policies, Bozo provides valuable insight into current French approaches to foreign and security policy, including the recent attempt by President Chirac to redefine and normalize the France-NATO relationship. As the author shows, de GaulleOs legacy remains vigorous as France grapples with European integration, a new role within a reformed NATO, and relations with the United States.
