Abstract
French defense policy under General Charles de Gaulle during the 1960s accorded a distinct priority to the exclusive protection of French territory as opposed to the collective security of France and her allies. During 1982 an ongoing debate over the extent to which France should enhance its contribution to allied security intensified. The debate has been two-pronged, focusing on measures that remain within the parameters of current defense doctrine and on possible modifications of that doctrine. This article examines that debate, the decisions it has already produced, and where French policy may go in the future.
