The French Connection
Professor Laurence Martin is in the chair for a discussion on changes in French defence thinking and their implications for European security.
Since General de Gaulle's military withdrawal from
NATO in 1966, French defence policy has remained routed along Gaullist lines. But there are now signs of changes. How significant are these? What might they mean for Franco-German defence co-operation? Against a background of a transatlantic security relationship under increasing strain, are we seeing a new assessment of Europe's defence interests?
