Publisher's Synopsis
France-Germany in the 21st Century is an analysis of the cooperation and disputes which have marked the France-German relationship since the Maastricht Treaty. France-Germany in the 21st Century deals with the 'Euro' and devises a European security policy in the aftermath of Kosovo and with the new structure of the European Union. Patrick McCarthy presents information concerning two countries that fought three wars in one century and then decided not just to make peace, but to form an alliance. The book focuses on the way France and Germany see each other, which depends on the way they see themselves. In addition, France-Germany in the 21st Century presents the new Europe the countries are trying to create and the march into the difficult millennium.
