Each side tends to irritate the other, not least at the negotiating table, where Americans complain of French pretensions and arrogance, and the French fulminate against U.S. hegemonisme and egoisme. But, whether they like it or not, the two nations are going to have to deal with one another for a long time to come.Charles Cogan s timely and insightful study can t guarantee to make those encounters more fruitful, but it will help France s negotiating counterparts understand how and why French officials behave as they do. With impressive objectivity and authority, Cogan first explores the cultural and historical factors that have shaped the French approach and then dissects its key elements. Mixing rationalism and nationalism, rhetoric and brio, self-importance and embattled vulnerability, French negotiators often seem more interested in asserting their country s universal mission than in reaching agreement. Three recent case studies illustrate this distinctively French melange.Yet agreement is by no means always elusive. Cogan offers practical suggestions for making negotiations more cooperative and productive although he also emphasizes the long-term damage inflicted by the crisis over Iraq.Drawing on candid interviews with many of today s leading players on the French, American, British, and German sides, this engaging volume will inform and stimulate both seasoned practitioners and academics as well as students of France and the negotiating process.This book is the recipient of the Prix Ernest Lemonon from L'Academie des Sciences Morales et Politiques, 2006","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49619883983121,"sku":"GOR009026934","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49989064229137,"sku":"CIN1929223528G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50797159645457,"sku":"CIN1929223528VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1929223528.jpg?v=1751029328"},{"product_id":"charles-de-gaulle-book-charles-g-cogan-9780312107901","title":"Charles de Gaulle","description":"This work is an assessment of the historical role of Charles de Gaulle, as well as the Gaullist movement and its legacy for France, for Europe and for trans-Atlantic relations.

American power grew tremendously in the wake of World War II and the Cold War that followed, forming, around a strategic consensus based on the indivisibility of defense against the Soviet Union, an American imperium in Europe. The interests of this imperium differed significantly from those of France, the oldest and one of the most important nations in Europe. Great Britain, France's counterpart in these respects, benefitted from special treatment by, and a special relationship with, the United States. France's efforts to develop a national nuclear force as a demonstration of its strength and independence were continually hampered by the United States until the 1970s. Britain's efforts, on the other hand, were not hampered but aided.    In struggling to regain France's leading position in Europe, the French leadership under Charles de Gaulle sought on the one hand an independent nuclear force, and, on the other, a strengthening of Europe with a Franco-German alliance at its core. Both of these policies provoked friction with the United States; both will now have to be revised, after the end of the Cold War and the emergence of a powerful, reunited Germany. The overall prospect, however, is that of continuing differences between France and the United States, as the antagonisms of the past, which date primarily from the World War II era, will not easily die out. Written by a former senior intelligence officer with a background of extensive French government and academic relationships, this book will be invaluable to all students of contemporary European history and U.S. foreign relations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346440360209,"sku":"CIN0275951162G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0275951162.jpg?v=1750738336"},{"product_id":"digital-is-the-new-third-age-book-charles-g-cogan-9781494315320","title":"Digital is the New Third Age","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51030153199889,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030155559185,"sku":"NIN9781494315320","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1494315327.jpg?v=1751243164"},{"product_id":"forced-to-choose-book-charles-g-cogan-9780275957049","title":"Forced to Choose","description":"This is a major examination of contemporary international relations and Western European defence policy.

The EU eventually will reach the point where its economic and demographic weight will far exceed that of the United States. Can it not be expected too that the EU will seek to make this weight felt internationally? Cogan tracks the halting creation of an independent European military structure, a third way between national armies and ATO, since the Iron Curtain's fall.    With the Cold War's end and subsequent western engagements in Central and Eastern Europe, it is no longer a question of whether NATO and the EU compare; they now must relate. They have to coordinate their planning and force postures so as to avoid duplication of resources and efforts. Although NATO's integrated command structure theoretically was an anomaly with the end of the Cold War, it nevertheless turned out to be the case in Bosnia, and later Kosovo, that nothing was possible until the Americans intervened. The virtue of integrated command -- American participation and know-how -- was once again seen as crucially important, despite the increasingly anachronistic deficit of sovereignty for Western Europe in defense matters. In the long run, Europe's economic power must be balanced by its military and diplomatic might.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52151298031889,"sku":"NLS9780275969486","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780275969486.jpg?v=1757612869"},{"product_id":"oldest-allies-guarded-friends-book-charles-g-cogan-9780275948689","title":"Oldest Allies, Guarded Friends","description":"The author offers a revisionist-style look at the French-American relationship as seen through a series of case studies dating from the great misunderstanding between the Roosevelt administration and the Free French movement in World War II to the formation of the Euro-Corps in the early 1990s.
