About this title

Synopsis

This comprehensive overview of the Franco-German security relationship, especially since 1982, examines the implications of the rapprochement for NATO and Europeanization. It examines each country's strategic perspective; the conventional arms dimension, in terms of both forces and arms production; and the nuclear arms issue in terms of the French strategic dilemma of promoting national independence on the one hand, and extending deterrence to cover the FDR on the other.
