Голлизм как модель национальной безопасности Франции

Abstract

The author aims to analyze the policy of France in the military political sphere since 1991. He attempts to reveal the origins and causes of the current foreign policy of one of the leading European states which claims the leading role in the European integration process. The author believes that political elite in France holds in general to the conceptual provisions of military political doctrine of General de Gaulle. At the same time, modern Gaullists have substantially revised the approach to the development of military component of the European security system. France traditionally attempts to compensate the lacking economic potential by active independent diplomacy. The idea of France's grandeur remains the primacy of its national interests.
