The evolutionary roots of war and peace
International audience
The EU’s strategic autonomy in foreign policy: European responses to American and Chinese influence over the arms embargo on China and Taiwan
The Origins of War: A Global Archaeological Review
Janus faced: The co-evolution of war and peace in the human species
The human species presents a paradox. No other species possesses the propensity to carry out coalitionary lethal attacks on adult conspecifics coupled with the inclination to establish peaceful relations with genetically unrelated groups. What explains this seemingly contradictory feature? Existing perspectives, the "deep roots" and "shallow roots" of war theses, fail to capture the plasticity of human intergroup behaviors, spanning from peaceful…
Geostrategic context: Bridging alliances in the shadow of Sino-American competition
International audience
Pulled East. The rise of China, Europe and French security policy in the Asia-Pacific
This article delivers the first post-Cold War history of how France – the European power with the largest political-military footprint in the Asia-Pacific – has responded to the national security challenges posed by the rise of China. Based upon a unique body of primary sources (80 interviews conducted in Europe, the Asia-Pacific and the United States; declassified archival documents; and leaked diplomatic cables), it shows that China’s growing a…
Illusions of Autonomy: Why Europe Cannot Provide for Its Security If the United States Pulls Back
Europe's security landscape has changed dramatically in the past decade amid Russia's resurgence, mounting doubts about the long-term reliability of the U.S. security commitment, and Europe's growing aspiration for strategic autonomy. This changed security landscape raises an important counterfactual question: Could Europeans develop an autonomous defense capacity if the United States withdrew completely from Europe? The answer to this question h…
Nodal defence: The changing structure of U.S. alliance systems in Europe and East Asia
Scholars and pundits alike continue to portray the U.S.-led regional alliance systems in Europe and East Asia in stark, dichotomous terms. Whereas the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is the standard model of multilateralism, the U.S.-led system of bilateral alliances in East Asia is the archetypal ‘hub-and-spokes’ structure in which different allies (the spokes) enjoy deep bilateral strategic ties with Washington (the hub) but not with each ot…
Europe Cannot Defend Itself: The Challenge of Pooling Military Power
Europe is unable to pool and effectively employ military power due to its lack of an integrated command structure and its deficient C4ISR capacity
Covert balancing: Great Powers, secondary states and US balancing strategies against China
Throughout history, Great Powers have devised balancing strategies aimed at checking the ambitions of rival Great Powers. To do that, they have sought to enter and mobilize alliances and security partnerships with secondary states. Yet, the influence of secondary states on the balancing strategies of Great Powers remains largely under-estimated in the International Relations literature. Contrary to conventional wisdom, we posit that secondary sta…
Networking hegemony: Alliance dynamics in East Asia
Shaping China’s rise: The reordering of US alliances and defence partnerships in East Asia
The Handbook of European Defence Policies and Armed Forces
The armed forces of Europe have undergone a dramatic transformation since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Handbook of European Defence Policies and Armed Forces provides the first comprehensive analysis of national security and defence policies, strategies, doctrines, capabilities, and military operations, as well as the alliances and partnerships of European armed forces in response to the security challenges Europe has faced since the end…
CSDP Military Operations
Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) operations, while still novel, are rapidly becoming a vital means through which Europe projects physical power and influence beyond its borders. This chapter analyses the EU’s multilateral, intergovernmental military operations, examining where and how the EU has pursued its emerging strategic interests around the globe. It first surveys the history and politics of the thirteen CSDP mweilitary operations …
Arming China: Major powers’ arms transfers to the People’s Republic of China
The rise of China has been fuelled by a massive military modernisation programme relying, in large part, on the acquisition of foreign military equipment. The question of how the world’s major powers define their arms transfer policies towards China is therefore crucially important. This article makes two original contributions. First, drawing on neoclassical realism, it proposes an explanatory framework integrating international and domestic fac…
Upside down: Reframing European Defence Studies
Since the end of the Cold War, the study of European defence has been dominated by a ‘Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP)-centric’ approach, while largely neglecting the comparative analysis of national defence policies. This article makes a conceptual and empirical case for turning the dominant research prism of European defence studies upside down by returning the analytical precedence to the national level. This approach privileges the c…
The strategist’s dilemma: Global dynamic density and the making of US ‘China policy’
Combining the English School of International Relations and the study of grand strategy decision-making processes, this article investigates how dynamic density – growing volume, velocity, and diversity of interactions within international society – alters states’ strategy formation processes. By contrasting the perspectives of structural realism and the English School on the role of dynamic density in world politics, the piece illustrates the st…
Enjeux stratégiques et économiques des politiques d’exportation d’armement: Une comparaison franco-américaine
Dans un marché de l’armement qui se mondialise, marqué par une forte compétition et d’importantes contraintes budgétaires, les gouvernements encouragent les exportations militaires afin de soutenir leurs industries de défense. Toutefois, les politiques d’exportation d’armes diffèrent considérablement d’un État à l’autre, tant en ce qui concerne les technologies transférées que les pays destinataires. Cet article propose un schéma explicatif et un…
Trading with the Enemy: The Making of US Export Control Policy Toward the People's Republic of China
In light of the intertwining logics of military competition and economic interdependence at play in US-China relations, 'Trading with the Enemy' examines how the United States has balanced its potentially conflicting national security and economic interests in its relationship with the People's Republic of China (PRC)
La sociologie de « l’état en action » au prisme des relations internationales: Le cas de la politique américaine de contrôle des exportations de biens stratégiques
En intégrant des concepts et des méthodes relevant des relations internationales et de la sociologie de l’action publique, cet article vise à contribuer à l’étude des transformations de l’État en mobilisant une approche internationaliste de la sociologie de l’État. L’articulation entre les dimensions interne et internationale de la capacité de l’État demeure un angle mort dans la littérature. Sur la base d’un large éventail de sources primaires (…
Balancing Conflicting Security Interests: U.S. Defense Exports to China in the Last Decade of the Cold War
This article discusses the rationale and evolution of U.S. defense exports to the People's Republic of China (PRC) during the final decade of the Cold War. The article is based on a large body of primary sources, including newly declassified documents, congressional hearings, and interviews with key officials. It shows that, contrary to what is often assumed in the literature, U.S. officials’ assessments of the optimal degree of defense cooperati…
Actors, Coalitions, and the Making of Foreign Security Policy: US Strategic Trade with the People's Republic of China
In light of the intertwining logics of military competition and economic interdependence at play in Sino–American relations, this paper examines how the United States has balanced conflicting national security and economic interests in the making of US export control policy on defense-related technology toward China. Relying upon a large body of primary sources (including 170 interviews), it seeks to contribute to the understanding of this strate…
Post-Cold War Trends in the European Defence Industry: Implications for Transatlantic Industrial Relations
Since the end of the Cold War, Europe's defence industry continues to consolidate, and this process has resulted in significant restructuring across European borders. Having examined the post-Cold War changing economic and technological conditions in the armaments market, the article investigates how the interplay between the defence industries' strategies in facing this new environment and the EU initiatives in the security realm has transformed…
