Book Synopsis Reluctant Allies and Competitive Partners by : Jacquelyn K. Davis
Download or read book Reluctant Allies and Competitive Partners written by Jacquelyn K. Davis. This book was released on 2003. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The United States and France have shared a long and tempestuous relationship, but they have always managed to work through their differences because they have common values and similar interests. However, for much of the last decade, these two nations have been on a collision course, and it is no longer apparent that Washington and Paris support the same interests or even view the fruits of the Enlightenment in quite the same way. The events of September 11, 2001, have exacerbated this divergence of French and American perspectives, and in the coming months policy differences over the Bush Doctrine, Iraq, Israel, and Russia could tear apart the fabric of this alliance. This monograph examines the U.S.-French relationship and offers a candid assessment of what the future may hold."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Atlantic Reverberations by : Paul C. Adams
Download or read book Atlantic Reverberations written by Paul C. Adams. This book was released on 2017-11-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2004 US election provided French citizens and their media with a springboard for re-conceiving 'self' and 'other'. Given its prominent opposition to recent US foreign policy such as the invasion of Iraq, a volley of insults and caustic remarks reverberated between France and the US. French observers linked the Bush administration's policies to particular groups and regions within the US, to a democratic deficit, to a perceived threat of US collapse and to the need for a stronger Europe. By examining how the French media - newspapers, television, the internet and scholarly research - represented the election from a critical geopolitical perspective, this book provides the first major in-depth study of views of the US in contemporary foreign media.

Book Synopsis The Political Consequences of Anti-Americanism by : Richard Higgott
Download or read book The Political Consequences of Anti-Americanism written by Richard Higgott. This book was released on 2008-07-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anti-Americanism as a concept is confused, often used in a contradictory fashion and invariably driven by emotion rather than intellect. Nevertheless, it casts a long policy shadow with adverse consequences (both real and potential) for actors including those who may not support the concept. This book puts anti-Americanism into a contemporary context and analyses some of its political consequences. The argument of the book is that ideas matter: they shape actions and have policy consequences. With the case of anti-Americanism, even superficial ideas can reflect deep seated emotions that might, at first sight, appear real. These can range from the rhetorical flourish and smart comment occasioned by a presidential gaucherie through to a deep embedded, visceral hatred of all things American. The contributors to this volume discern the difference between these two ends of the anti-American spectrum and assess the varying degree of ‘political consequence’. Divided into three parts, items addressed include: Networks, culture and foundations consisting of the role of influential foundations and think tanks in combating anti-Americanism, and the link between the political establishment in Washington D.C. and the popular culture industry Security and Anti-Americanism Regional and country Studies, including Canada, Australia, East Asia, Latin America, Greece and France. The Political Consequences of Anti-Americanism will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, international relations, security studies, American politics and American foreign policy.
