Reviews"The intelligence and the lucidity of the analysis... go some way to assert the French Foreign Secretary's stature as a statesman.... Vedrine succeeds in showing how he manages fully to engage with the in-depth changes of the twenty-first century while staying true to the fundamentals of the French geopolitical code." --Pascal Venier, University of Salford, UK, Royal Institute of International Affairs , 1/1/2002, "Vedrine, who remarks, 'In our era, foreign policy must continually be explained,' has certainly met his own criteria by defining France's foriegn policy in an open, candid, and very readable series of interviews that are of particular interest to a US audience." --Robert J. Guttman, Europe , 10/1/2001, "In a sparkling English translation by Philip H. Gordon, Vedrine comes alive as a true character -brilliant, haughty, frank and sly all at once." --Gideon Rose, Foreign Affairs, Managing Editor, Survival (vol.44 n.3 2002), "This book is an elegant, sophisticated and forceful presentation of two French views on the global condition. Whatever ones' view of France and the French, there is much food for thought here." --Louis R.

Synopsis" This provocative book takes the form of a dialogue between French Foreign Minister Hubert Védrine and international relations expert Dominique Moïsi. Védrine expresses his frank views of the U.S. ""hyperpower,"" France's role in the world, Europe's future, the current structure of the international system, and the role of ethics in international affairs. Probing the historic, diplomatic and cultural issues that unite and divide two historical allies, the book give unique insights into French thinking about the world, and France and America's respective roles in it. ""Like the French satirical television show that twits the United States for being the 'World Company' that invades peoples lives around the globe, the French foreign minister, Hubert Vedrine, expresses frustration, and perhaps a little envy, at America's dominion.... ""Since becoming foreign minister three years ago, Mr. Vedrine, 53, a lawyer and previously the senior foreign policy advisor to Francois Mitterand when he was president, has made a priority of making distinctions between France and the United States. That has left senior American officials muttering more than usual about the French."" --New York Times ", This provocative book takes the form of a dialogue between French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine and international relations expert Dominique Moisi.
