Description

This book explores France’s African intervention policy and the country’s attempts to re-legitimise its military presence in Africa by relying on multilateral cooperation through the United Nations, the European Union, and various ad hoc frameworks. France’s enduring ability to project military power on the African continent and influence political events there has been central to its self-perception as a major power. However, since the end of the cold war, Paris’s paternalistic interference in Francophone Africa has been increasingly questioned, not least by African audiences. This has produced a gradual, reluctant turn to multilateralism on the part of French leaders. Drawing on in-depth case studies of recent French military intervention policy, this edited volume critically assesses France’s efforts to: reassure critics by securing political endorsements from multilateral bodies; share burdens and liabilities through greater reliance on collective implementation; and re-affirm its status as a leading power by often spearheading collective missions. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Strategic Studies.
