H-Diplo | RJISSF Review Essay 67: Perlman on Bauer, Marianne is Watching

February 9, 2023February 6, 2023 By Susan McCall Perlman

When General Georges Boulanger committed suicide on his lover’s grave in 1891, it was an ignominious end for “General Revanche,” an enigmatic, if ambitious man who had threatened the republic he once served to protect. Much has been made of Boulanger’s rise, the movement he inspired, his ultimate disgrace amid accusations of treason, and, recently,…

Review Essay 59: Nuclear France: Grandeur or Mirage?

October 21, 2021October 14, 2021 By Jacques E.C. Hymans

The major theme of Cold War France’s foreign policy was the reassertion of the country’s traditional great power identity.  France did not aspire to unseat the two superpowers as the most powerful states in the world, but French leaders believed that their country could and should also take a place at the global high table. …

Policy Series 2021-56: Death Grip Handshakes and Flattery Diplomacy: The Macron-Trump Connection and Its Larger Implications for Alliance Politics

October 20, 2021October 15, 2021 By Kathryn C. Statler

Forewarned by a number of other world leaders, French President Emmanuel Macron was well-prepared for the infamous Donald Trump handshake.  On 25 May 2017 at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Brussels, the two world leaders met for the first time.  With cameras clicking and video rolling, President Trump praised Macron’s “tremendous victory”…

H-Diplo Roundtable XXII-25 on After the Deportation: Memory Battles in Postwar France

February 8, 2021February 11, 2021 By Julian Bourg, Vicki Caron, Maurice Samuels, Lucette Valensi

Philip Nord’s After the Deportation is a compelling and ambitious account of ‘deportation memory’ in France.  It revises the dominant silence-to-voice story that historians have nuanced and contested, but never fully dislodged.  As the story goes, the French imagined deportees as anti-fascist, patriotic victims of the Nazi regime until the 1960s and 70s, when a…

Article Review 139 on “Substate Organizations as Foreign Policy Agents: New Evidence and Theory from India, Israel, and France.”

May 28, 2020May 22, 2020 By Paul Staniland

Nicolas Blarel and Jayita Sarkar have written a valuable article on the intra-state politics of foreign policy.  An extensive line of research in recent years has examined how domestic political competition (i.e. elections and parties), public opinion, and leaders can shape foreign policy.  Yet bureaucracies within the state – what Blarel and Sarkar refer to…

Article Review 124 on “Nationalism, Collaboration, and Resistance:  France under Nazi Occupation.”

August 2, 2019July 26, 2019 By Peter Liberman

Nationalism—the principle that a people sharing a common culture should possess their own sovereign state—is widely regarded as the most powerful political ideology in the modern world. But it is not the unstoppable force sometimes described by international relations scholars, who tend to pay more attention to insurgencies than to stable multinational states and empires….

Policy Series 2-5: France’s Yellow Vests: Lessons from a Revolt

April 24, 2019December 24, 2020 By Michael C. Behrent, Emile Chabal, Valérie Charolles, Daniel A. Gordon

In the ongoing saga of contemporary populism, France’s Yellow Vest movement has sounded something like the other shoe dropping. In 2016, Brexit and Donald Trump’s election shattered prevailing political orthodoxies by mobilizing populations around a potent cocktail of xenophobia, protectionism, and sovereignism. Forces with a family resemblance to these movements are calling the shots in…

Policy Roundtable 2-2: Emmanuel Macron’s Political Revolution in France

November 17, 2017November 18, 2017 By Michael C. Behrent, Emile Chabal, Carlo Invernizzi Accetti, Aline-Florence Manent

When Emmanuel Macron beat Marine Le Pen in the French presidential election on 7 May 2017, many in Europe and North America breathed a collective sigh of relief. Macron’s victory seemed to confirm an incipient anti-populist trend that had been set earlier that year in the Netherlands and Austria. In the aftermath of the Brexit-vote…

Article Review 79 on “On Provocation: Outrage, International Relations, and the Franco-Prussian War.”

May 31, 2017May 28, 2017 By Hyun-Binn Cho

Robert Jervis once claimed that “states sometimes fail to deploy threats that would benefit them and on other, probably more numerous, occasions employ threats that provoke rather than deter.”[1] If so, the field of international politics has done a remarkably poor job of accounting for the latter types of threat. For one, provocation has remained…

Policy Series: The Waning of the Post-War Order

February 21, 2017September 4, 2017 By T.G. Otte

Making sense of the present is a difficult undertaking at the best of times. It seems more especially so at the current moment. The tumult of 2016 was of a kind not seen since the ‘spring of the peoples’ in 1848. Power no longer seems to be what it was and where it was thought…
