French Security Policy
From Independence To Interdependence

Dr. Laird pays special attention to the French nuclear modernization process and to the trend in the last two decades toward a greater emphasis on security interdependence within the Western alliance at the expense of the classic Gaullist stance of independence.
Major Dimensions
He examines the major dimensions of French security policy, particularly French nuclear employment policy and doctrine, the Franco-German relationship, and France's role in Europe and in East-West relations.
Additional Features
The book features the first-time translation of some of the most significant recent papers by leading French analysts of security affairs.
