Long Live the Revolutions: Fighting for France's Political Future in the Long Wake of the Commune, 1871-1880 Abstract The traumatic legacies of the Paris Commune and its harsh suppression in 1871 had a significant impact on the identities and voter outreach efforts of each of the chief political blocs of the 1870s. The political and cultural developments of this phenomenal decade, which is frequently mislabeled as calm and stable, established the Republic's longevity and set its character. Yet the Commune's legacies have never been comprehensively examined in a way that synthesizes their political and cultural effects. This dissertation offers a compelling perspective of the 1870s through qualitative and quantitative analyses of the influence of these legacies, using sources as diverse as parliamentary debates, visual media, and scribbled sedition on city walls, to explicate the decade's most important political and cultural moments, their origins, and their impact.

  • Reassessing Marshal Ferdinand Foch
    Command in a Coalition War 91 Command in a Coalition War: Reassessing Marshal Ferdinand Foch Elizabeth Greenhalgh* Marshal Ferdinand Foch is remembered, inaccurately, as the unthinking apostle of the offensive, one of the makers of the discredited strategy of the “offensive à outrance” that was responsible for so many French deaths in 1914 and 1915. His acceptance of the German signature on the armistice document presented on behalf of the Entente Allies in 1918 has been overshadowed by postwar conflicts over the peace treaty and then over France’s interwar defense policies. This paper argues that with the archival resources at our disposal it is time to examine what Foch actually did in the years be- tween his prewar professorship at the Ecole Supérieure de Guerre and the postwar disputes at Versailles. I The prewar stereotype of the military leader was influenced by military and diplomat- ic developments on the island of Corsica during the eighteenth century that resulted in the Genoese selling the sovereignty of the island in 1768 to France. This meant that Carlo Buonaparte’s son would be a Frenchman and not Italian, thus altering the face of Europe. The achievements of France’s greatest of “great captains” thus became a benchmark for future French military leaders. A French family from the southwest corner of France near the Pyrenees saw service with Napoleon Bonaparte, and in 1832 one member of that family, named Napoleon Foch for the general, consul and empe- ror, married Mlle Sophie Dupré, the daughter of an Austerlitz veteran. Their second surviving son was named Ferdinand.

Unipolar Disorder: A European Perspective on U.S. Security Strategy By DIANE MARIE AMANN* Much has been said about the National Security Strategy that U.S. President George W. Bush released one year after the terrorist assaults of September 11, 2001.1 The Strategy's declaration that the United States would strike first to prevent attack even before an enemy possessed the capability to attack-a point in time much earlier than when tradition would have condoned an act of anticipatory self-defense-provoked considerable comment.2 Debate within America encompassed multiple points of view; nonetheless, and perhaps not surprisingly, much of the debate reflected an * Visiting Professor of Law, University of California, Los Angeles, School of Law; Professor of Law, University of California, Davis, School of Law (Martin Luther King, Jr. Hall).

  • The Grand Design for a Post-War Order in French Policy at the Paris Peace Conference
    A Tran-Atlantic Condominium of Democratic Power: The Grand Design for A Post-War Order In French Policy At The Paris Peace Conference Peter Jackson, University of Glasgow France’s policy at the Paris Peace Conference has long been characterised as a bid to destroy German power and to secure a dominant position in the post-1918 European political order. The strategy and tactics of French premier Georges Clemenceau are nearly always contrasted with those of American president Woodrow Wilson. Clemenceau is represented as an arch cynic and committed practitioner of Realpolitik while Wilson is depicted as an idealist proponent of a new approach to international politics. The earliest, and one of the most extreme, articulation of this view was advanced by John Maynard Keynes in his Economic Consequences of the Peace. In what remains the most influential book ever written about the peace conference, Keynes characterised Clemenceau as a French Bismarck and the chief advocate of a ‘Carthaginian peace’.1 This judgement has reverberated through the historiography of the European international politics ever since.2 1 Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, (London, 1919), 32 and 35 respectively: ‘His theory of politics was Bismarck’s. He had one illusion – France; and one disillusion – mankind’. 2 The most recent study of French policy at before and during the peace conference by Georges-Henri Soutou concludes that it was thoroughly ‘realist’ in its inspiration: La Grande illusion: quand la France perdait la paix (Tallandier, 2015).

  • Aristide Briand: Defending the Republic Through Economic Appeasement
    Robert Boyce, "Aristide Briand : defending the Republic through economic appeasement", Histoire@Politique. Politique, culture, société, n° 16, janvier-avril 2012, www.histoire-politique.fr Aristide Briand: defending the Republic through economic appeasement Robert Boyce Aristide Briand occupied a major place in the politics of the Third Republic. For nearly twenty years he was a prominent political activist and journalist. Then, upon entering parliament he was eleven times président du Conseil and a minister on no less than twenty-five occasions, participating in government almost continuously from 1906 to 1917, in 1921-1922 and again from 1925 to 1932. Never during his thirty- year parliamentary career, however, did he take responsibility for a ministry of commerce, industry or finance or participate in debates on fiscal policy or budget reform. It might be said, indeed, that of all the leading politicians of the Third Republic he was one of the least interested in economic issues. Since he repeatedly altered his political posture before and after entering parliament, his approach to economics is difficult to define. Nevertheless it is possible to identify certain underlying beliefs that informed his political behaviour and shaped his economic views. In order to analyse these beliefs, their evolution and their instrumentalisation, the present paper will treat his public life in three stages: the long period before entering parliament, the period from 1902 to the war when he established his reputation as a progressive political leader, and the period from 1914 to 1932 when he became France's leading statesman. As will be seen, changing circumstances led him repeatedly to alter his posture towards economic choices, but in the second stage he became associated with potentially important domestic social and economic reforms, and in the third stage with potentially important international economic reforms.

  • The Evolution of Strategic Thinking in World War I: a Case Study of the Second Battle of the Marne
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 13, ISSUE 4, Summer 2011 Studies The Evolution of Strategic Thinking in World War I: A Case Study of the Second Battle of the Marne Michael S. Neiberg1 In his often-cited but infrequently read classic, On War, Carl von Clausewitz famously observed that war is an extension of politics by other means. Exactly what that now ubiquitous phrase means remains a topic of considerable scholarly debate. Generally speaking, however, a consensus has emerged that Clausewitz was urging policy makers to tie their use of military force to the political ends they wished to achieve. By keeping ends and means in harmony, political leaders can mitigate risk and avoid dangers like the phenomenon we now call mission creep.2 This consensus also cites nineteenth-century Prussia as a model for how to achieve Clausewitz’s vision; Otto von Bismarck, the wily Prussian/German chancellor, kept his war aims limited to the abilities of the Prussian army while taking great care not to involve his state in a long war that he feared it might not win.3 He therefore had an appropriate understanding of 1 I’d like to thank David Bercuson, Holger Herwig, Nancy Pearson Mackie, and Russ Benneweis for their assistance and hospitality in Calgary. 2 The literature on Clausewitz is extensive and deep. At the risk of omitting many fine works, see, for starters, Antulio Echevarria, Clausewitz and Contemporary War (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007), Michael Howard, Clausewitz (Oxford, 1983), and John Lynn, Battle: A History of Combat and Culture (New York, 2003), chapter 6.

  • Microhistory and the Study of Parliamentary Debates: Victorien Sardou's Thermidor and the Theater of Politics Steven M. Beaudo
    Microhistory and the Study of Parliamentary Debates: Victorien Sardou’s Thermidor and the Theater of Politics Steven M. Beaudoin Centre College On Saturday evening, January 24, 1891, to the surprise of few, the popular French playwright Victorien Sardou premiered his latest historical melodrama, Thermidor, to a very warm reception and glowing Sunday morning reviews. By Monday morning, however, commercial success was in jeopardy. As word of the play’s criticism of Robespierre spread through Paris, a number of republicans took offense at what they deemed an attack on the Revolution itself. If they thought they had appeased republican sensibilities with a quick editing session that morning, Sardou, Jules Claretie, the theater’s manager, and Constant Coquelin, the play’s star, were sorely mistaken. Despite a calm start, whistles and catcalls from the audience disrupted the first act for fifteen minutes. Order was restored only to be disturbed again in the third act, when opponents subjected Coquelin to further insults and a barrage of unsavory objects. The play continued only after the police entered and removed the most ardent of these demonstrators. The next morning, alarmed by this disturbance and the promise of others if the play continued its run, Ernest Constans, Minister of the Interior, suppressed all further presentations of Thermidor.1 A very different stage, the Chamber of Deputies, was now set for a heated exchange over the liberty of the dramatic arts. On January 29, 1891, moderate republican Deputies Francis Charmes, Henry Fouquier, and Joseph Reinach demanded an interpellation on the government’s intentions concerning the maintenance of both public order and the liberty of the dramatic arts.2 What followed, however, was a day-long debate not on censorship, but on the meaning of the French Revolution and its legacy.3 According to most of the current work on parliamentary debate, there are three possible approaches for interpreting this discussion, each offering potentially meaningful conclusions.

    PREFACE For more than two centuries, the Palais Bourbon and the Hôtell de Lassay have been at the heart of French political life. From the very moment the Council of Five Hundred moved there in 1798, the edifices lost their original residentiiaal function and became the seat of national sovereignty and the cradle of our Republican values. These ancient walls resonate with the grand voices which, togetther, have made France and which have shown us and continue to guide us along the patth of liberty and solidarity: Lamartine, Schœlcher, Hugo, Jaurès, Clemenceau, but also,, more recently, Robert Badinter or Simone Veil. These splendid buildings are also an extraordinary testtament to the architectural and artistic development of our country, from the Regency to the modern daay. The architect Jules de Joly, the painters Delacroix, Vernet, Pujol, Alechinsky, and JonOne, as well as the sculptor De Maria, have all left their indelible mark here. Their artistic interpretations speak to us of France, of the demands of democratic debate and of our collective capacity to overcome our divisions. These national palaces, brimming with history, are also, through the parliamentary sittings, the daily arena for the work of MPs, their assisttants and of the civil servants of the National Assembbly. The work of Parliament must be better known by all. More than ever, our Assembly, which is the expression of direct universal suffrage, mustt be the shared house of all French citizens. New technologies have enabled us to make huge steps in the field of transparency and the National Assembly will continue its efforts in this direction, in the same way as it wishes to allow its heritage to be accessible to all.

  • Stock Returns, Governments and Market Foresight in France, 1871-2008
    Stock Returns, Governments and Market Foresight in France, 1871-2008 David Le Bris This paper analyzes the historical relationship between the political coloration of the government and stock market performance in France between 1871 and 2008. The Left-wing/Right-wing dichotomy, which is ubiquitous in French political discourse, is utilized in order to build a comparative analytical framework. During the 150 months characterized by the appointment of a new government regardless the coloration, we find that the monthly stock return is, on average, three times higher than for other months. The market appreciates in value with all new governments. However, in the long run, the real return of French stocks averages 4.40% per year under Left-wing versus 0.11% under Right-wing governments. This difference, although statistically robust, is not the result of added compensation for higher risk investments, nor is it driven by short special periods. The existence of a more favorable macroeconomic context during the rule of Left-wing governments only explains one third of this difference. A large part of the difference is concentrated during the three months prior to a coloration change. Assuming that the market anticipates coloration changes three months in advance, we move the boundaries: the difference in stock returns becomes insignificant.
