French Dilemmas and Strategies in the New Europe (1989-1991), by Stanley Hoffmann
The sudden end of the cold war in Europe, the collapse of the Soviet Empire and the fall of the Berlin wall put the French government in an awkward and paradoxical situation. It was awkward, because France had been concentrating its attention on Western Europe, on the progesss of the European Community ; the momentous events in the East risked changing the priorities and delaying the « deepening » of the Community. h was paradoxical, because, for almost 45 years, France had denounced the division of Europe, the « order of Yalta » ; and yet, now that the partitions had fallen, French authorities, elites and publics seemed dazed. The evolution in the definition of French interests and objectives has been proceeding step by step and the changes in France's outlook are likely to continue. Over time, the French search for distinctiveness and autonomy may transfer its focus from France to a Europe in which France will continue to play an important role. Thus, France would become an « ordinary » European nation, encased in a highly original Community. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
