This book, first published in 1984, examines France’s independent nuclear weapons programme of the 1980s alongside the French peace movement, which was almost totally absent – in contrast to the peace protests of the US and the rest of Europe. This book analyses this unusual pattern of defence and dissent, and assesses its likely development. It looks at the evolvement of French post-war defence policy, and discusses the French peace movement, attempting to explain why it was so weak.

The European Union and National Defence Policy (1997) focusses on the role that European integration has played in shaping the defence policies of various European countries. The editors have brought together an impressive array of contributors, who consider the pressures on state policy emanating from the process of integration. The book is divided into three distinct parts: the first outlines the tortuous history of attempts to link defence with European integration and highlights some recent initiatives. The second part includes studies of the four larger member states – France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom, as well as a chapter on the Netherlands – providing an insight into the different national factors that condition the impact of EU action. The final part considers the key questions of nuclear weapons and arms procurement policies.
