Original reviews of France in World Politics:
‘…the introduction … [which] is a useful summary of France's main foreign-policy problems; the treatment of France and the chapters on francophonie offer intelligent insights.’ Choice
‘What it does do extremely well is to look in depth at wider webs of French interests and influence - interventionism in Africa,' co-operation' versus 'dependence' in relations with the Third World in general, the 'remnants of empire' (Overseas Departments and Territories),and 'francophonie' (cultural ties with a much wider range of countries). Philip G. Cerny, West European Politics, 13: 4 (1990).
