Anglo-French Relations 1898 - 1998 From Fashoda to Jospin [Hardcover]

From the Fashoda incident in 1898 to the current Blair-Jospin 'entente', this book reviews one century of Franco-British relations. Friend or foe? Partner or rival? Model or counter-model? The two countries continually wavered between two extremes. Yet, as this collection of papers show, they have always had more things in common than suspected in the first place, and there has always been a strong case for cooperation.Preface Acknowledgements Notes on the Contributors Introduction: ' Perfide Albion ' All the Way?; P.Chassaigne & M.Dockrill Britain and France: Some Comments on a Complex Relationship; C.Mallaby French and British Businessmen in the Nineteenth Century; J.Foreman-Peck & E.Boccaletti The End of the Anglo-French Commercial Alliance; P.Marsh Theophile Declass? and the Question of Intervention in the Anglo-Boer War (October 1899-March 1900); P.R.Venier Anglo-French Rivalry over Siam and the Treaties of April 1904; N.Brailey Elie Halevy and Anglo-French Relations, 1898-1905; F.Crouzet 'Breaking the Banque': The Great Crisis in Franco-British Central Bank Relations Between the Wars; R.Boyce British Official Perceptions of France and the French, 1936-1940; M.Dockrill The Supreme War Council and the Allied War Effort 1939-1940; W.Philpott France in Churchill's The Second World War; A.Capet The M?sentente Cordiale : Economic Relations Between France and Great Britain Since 1945; I.Lescent-Giles The 'Problem of De Gaulle', 1958-1967; R.Davis Britain, France and Economic Planning in the 1960s: The Commissariat au Plan , Role Model or Counter-Model?; J.Leruez Lionel Jospin-Tony Blair: Building a Comparison; F.C.Mougel IndexELISA BOCCALETTI Research Officer, Leverhulme Project on Entrepreneurship in Britain and FranceROBERT BOYCE Lecturer in International History, London School of Economics and Political ScienceNIGEL BRAILEY Lecturer in History, University of BristolANTOINE CAPET Professor of British Civilization, University of RouenFRAN?OIS CROUZET Emeritul³†
