Negative Positive
Title: Insightful
Review: Vedrine refuses to acknowledge some of the warts of France's foreign policy in the Middle East (eg. history of colonialism, arms deals including nuclear). Yet this is a minor shortcoming in an otherwise forthright representation of France's opposition to America's post-Cold War "hyperpuissance." Read this for insights on why France believes it must counterbalance America's unchallenged military, political and cultural power. Especially relevant given misrepresentations of French views vis-a-vis the Gulf.
