French Foreign Policy in a Changing World
Author: Pernille RiekerPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319552694
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
This book investigates how modern French foreign policy is practiced. France finds its traditional power status challenged by internal as well as external developments. Internally, it faces societal challenges related to unemployment, integration, social exclusion, Islamist terrorism and the rise of populism. Externally, its status is challenged by global and regional developments – including the financial crises, competition from emerging states, EU enlargement and a more powerful Germany. While the French recognise that they no longer have great-power economic or military power capacities, the conviction of the universal value of French civilization and culture remains strong. As this book argues, for France to be able to punch above its weight in international politics, it must effectively promote the value of ‘French universalism’ and culture. This study investigates how this is reflected in modern French foreign policy by examining foreign policy practices towards selected regions/countries and in relation to external and internal security. Written by a senior researcher specializing in French and EU foreign and security policy, this book will be an invaluable resource for practitioners of foreign policy and students of French politics, international relations and European studies.
L'ÉCOLE FRANÇAISE DE SPIRITUALITÉ
Author: Paulette LeblancPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1291978720
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Il est parfois utile de faire des petites excursions dans l'Histoire pour mieux comprendre le présent. Qui se souvient encore, dans le peuple chrétien, des richesses insoupçonnées du Concile de Trente ? Qui sait les jaillissements de sainteté qu'il a fait naître, dans l'Église, après les longues années de désarroi dues, en partie, aux guerres incessantes et aux ravages spirituels que les réformes protestantes avaient suscités ?L'Église catholique tout entière devait se réformer. La hiérarchie en était très consciente, mais elle attendait...La présente étude n'a pas l'ambition de réaliser une savante synthèse de l'étonnante vitalité spirituelle de l'après Concile de Trente, mais plus sim-plement d'en dégager la sainteté en présentant, les uns après les autres, ceux qui, clercs ou laïcs, ont été les vrais acteurs de la grande Réforme Catholique.

"Painting, Politics and the Struggle for the ?ole de Paris, 1944?964 "
Author: Natalie AdamsonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351555189
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
Painting, Politics and the Struggle for the ?ole de Paris, 1944-1964 is the first book dedicated to the postwar or 'nouvelle' ?ole de Paris. It challenges the customary relegation of the ?ole de Paris to the footnotes, not by arguing for some hitherto 'hidden' merit for the art and ideas associated with this school, but by establishing how and why the ?ole de Paris was a highly significant vehicle for artistic and political debate. The book presents a sustained historical study of how this 'school' was constituted by the paintings of a diverse group of artists, by the combative field of art criticism, and by the curatorial policies of galleries and state exhibitions. By thoroughly mining the extensive resources of the newspaper and art journal press, gallery and government archives, artists' writings and interviews with surviving artists and art critics, the book traces the artists, exhibitions, and art critical debates that made the ?ole de Paris a zone of aesthetic and political conflict. Through setting the ?ole de Paris into its artistic, social, and political context, Natalie Adamson demonstrates how it functioned as the defining force in French postwar art in its defence of the tradition of easel painting, as well as an international point of reference for the expansion of modernism. In doing so, she presents a wholly new perspective on the vexed relationships between painting, politics, and national identity in France during the two decades following World War II.

Marguerite Bourgeoys et la Congrégation de Notre Dame, 1665-1670
Author: Patricia SimpsonPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773584684
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
Marguerite Bourgeoys (1620-1700) was canonized in 1982. Patricia Simpson goes beyond myth and hagiography to explore Bourgeoys's dream of establishing a radically new religious community of women, recounting her thirty-year struggle to obtain official recognition for the Congrégation of Notre-Dame. Simpson shows that the order faced great resistance from the male Church hierarchy despite the fact that the pioneer society depended on the work of the Congrégation. The order was particularly important in assuming the guardianship of many filles du roi - young women sent to New France under royal auspices to be married to the men of the colony. Simpson also examines the many difficulties the Congrégation faced, which included natural disasters and the dangers involved in trying to reach women and children in settlements throughout New France, as far away as Acadia.
