摘要:This text focuses on the potential changes in the French security and defence policy after the election of Nicolas Sarkozy as the new French President. It is expected that one of Sarkozy’s priorities will be repositioning of his country as a European player. His challenge will be to consolidate a more independent European defence effort, while not distancing France from NATO. Sarkozy’s foreign policy will differ especially in closer cooperation with the US. Still, the principle of autonomy and speaking its own mind vis-à-vis the United States remains a matter of consensus in France. More changes will emerge in reviewing the White Book of Defence. But the base of Sarkozy’s defence policy is strictly of economic nature. It lies in the emphasis on a strengthening of the cooperation between the members of EU, defence economics in general and a strong support for the defence industry.
