Marianne Is Watching: Intelligence, Counterintelligence and the Origins of the French Surveillance State by Deborah Bauer
The conclusion (“epilogue”) to this volume about the history of French intelligence from the Franco-Prussian War to the outbreak of World War I opens with a novel idea: “On July 28, 1914 in support of her ally Russia, France declared war on Germany” (255). To say the least, that an academic historian and author should misconstrue who declared war on whom in the seminal conflict of the twentieth century is concerning. If history had been as Bauer …
L’Europe était-elle asymétrique en 1930 ? Une ébauche d’évaluation à travers le plan Briand d’Union Fédérale Européenne
L’Europe qui existait une décennie après le Traité de Versailles était-elle un système international asymétrique ? Un questionnaire adressé par la France, mandaté par la SDN, à 26 États européens concernant le Plan Briand, sert de sondage d’opinion sur l’état de l’Europe en 1930. Il révèle des différences à géométrie variable entre groupes d’États selon qu’il s’agit de politique, d’économie ou de relations internationales. Mais la différence fond…
Sir Edward Grey, France, and the Entente: How to Catch the Perfect Angler
This article will focus on the nine-year relationship between British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey and the French Ambassador at London Paul Cambon, principally during the years 1912 to 1914. It will show how the French perceived Sir Edward Grey himself, his foreign policy, and his understanding of the Entente. It will analyse the means by which Cambon in particular, and through him the French in general, sought to coax from the Foreign Secre…
Wielding Finance as a Weapon of Diplomacy: France and Britain in the 1920s
France has long conceived of finance as a weapon of diplomacy. The role of French finance in sealing the Franco-Russian Alliance in 1892 is well known; the Quai d'Orsay's use of access to the Paris financial markets and the Paris Bourse as an instrument of foreign policy before the First World War was the subject of much research in the early 1970s. However, the use of currency and credit manipulation as a diplomatic weapon and a lever of power h…

Jules Cambon and Franco-German Détente, 1907–1914
Improved Franco-German relations are rarely associated with the years preceding the Great War or with the policies of Raymond Poincaré. Yet from 1907 to 1914 a persistent attempt was made to bring about détente between Paris and Berlin, which eventually led to the French president adopting a conciliatory attitude towards Germany, occasionally at the expense of relations with Russia. The instigator of this policy was the French ambassador in Berli…
