Modern French foreign policy is shaped by the challenges of maintaining its traditional power status amidst internal issues like unemployment and social exclusion, as well as external pressures from global shifts and competition. Despite recognizing diminished economic and military capacities, France remains committed to promoting its cultural values. This book explores how 'French universalism' influences foreign policy practices towards various regions and security concerns, offering insights valuable for policymakers and scholars in international relations and European studies.
