The International Integration Process ...................... 178 vii , FRANCE AND EUROPEAN INTEGRATION: AN INQUIRY INTO THE ELEMENTS OF POLITICAL LOYALTY By Jacob Silver, Ph.D. The Ohio State University, 1971 Professor Giacomo Sani, Adviser The basic finding was of the existence of two distinct trans­ national political orientation patterns among Frenchmen. Variable clusters associated with each of these orientation patterns indicate that these patterns correspond to two social groupings in France. The distinguishing objective characteristics of these two groupings has been interpreted to indicate a processual relationship of the two orientation patterns and the dynamics of transnational orientation acquisition in a society. Substantively, one group of Frenchmen was found to share a rather diffuse transnational European political orientation, indicated by asserted commitment to the political unification of Western Europe, not further stipulated. Other political attitudes associated with dif­ fuse transnationalism are a preference for neutralism and the French national values represented by Gaullism. The objective characteristics associated with this grouping are medium and lower income levels, low frequency of education above secondary school, and a preference for 2 Catholic parties. The second group of Frenchmen was found to share a commitment to a more specific supranational orientation. This "higher" level of transnational orientation is evidenced by assent to such proposals as for a European army and central or federal European political insti­ tutions with authority to make a common foreign policy, to levy and expend tax monies, and to make other important decisions. Other political attitudes associated with supranationalism are a preference for a pro-United States foreign policy and a distinct anti-Gaullisra. The objective characteristics associated with this grouping are a higher than average income, a disproportionately high frequency of university and graduate degrees, and a tendency to be constituted more frequently by males. Since approximately 1965 the group exhibiting supranationalism has constituted a majority of Frenchmen. Among higher status indi­ viduals, however, a supranational majority has existed since the early 1950s. But the diffuse orientation and its associated political atti­ tudes represents the traditional French transnational orientation. In fact, it represents components of traditional French nationalism. In contrast it is demonstrated that the supranational orientation repre­ sents a newer and different form of loyalty, specifically it indicates a degree of transnational European political loyalty. Because of the timing of the emergence of supranationalism as a widely held attitude, its rate of growth, the relationship of the mass trend ,to the trend of high status individuals, who have consistently exhibited prior commitment to supranationalism, a model of the societal loyalty

    MEDIA RELEASE INTERNATIONAL LAUNCH EVENT OF THE LIBERATION ROUTE EUROPE HIKING TRAILS A unique international trail initiative to keep the memory of WWII alive Brussels, 15 July 2021 – The LRE Foundation is happy to announce the next evolution of the Liberation Route Europe, a certified Council of Europe Cultural Route connecting places and people that mark Europe’s liberation from occupation during World War II. The launch event will take place on 22 July at 3 pm CEST when the Foundation will present the brand new European-wide system of hiking trails along the Liberation Route Europe. Developed in collaboration with hiking associations across Europe, the new hiking trails link museums, memorials, cemeteries and historical sites along the Allied Forces’ advance in the last phase of WWII and aim to stretch for 10.000 km. The hiking experience is accompanied by the new Liberation Route Europe website and travel planner that allows the public to read and listen to many stories about WWII and plan their journey along the hiking trails. Rémi Praud, Managing Director of the LRE Foundation: “We are excited to launch this new system of hiking trails connecting regions, sites and historical places across Europe. These trails are a new meaningful, and sustainable way to experience the Liberation Route Europe. This is only the beginning. We are excited to expand to new regions and countries in the upcoming years.” On the morning of 22 July, the LRE Foundation, in collaboration with the Best Defence Foundation, will escort seven U.S. veterans who served in Germany in 1945 for a visit with press to the German-Russian Museum Berlin- Karlshorst.

It is the trans­ lator's belief that Merleau-Ponty's argument, as well as that of Koestler in Darkness at Noon (1946) raises questions that are still relevant to the fateful connection between revolu­ tion and violence. All the same, it may be useful to con­ temporary readers to recall some of the background to the dispute between Roestler and Merleau-Ponty and the way it involved intellectuals on the French left whether Commu­ nist or non-Communist. I shall not attempt to trace in any detail the postwar de­ velopments which are the setting for Humanism and Terror.

  • 20 the FRENCH COUNTER-ATTAC K Wo Deep Salients Had Now Been
    CHAPTER 20 THE FRENCH COUNTER-ATTAC K wo deep salients had now been driven into Syrian territory, the poin t Tof the eastern thrust being just south of Kiswe and 25 miles fro m Damascus, the blunt end of the western resting at Jezzine and Sidon , some 30 miles from Beirut. In the Merdjayoun sector, however, the advance had moved fewer than 10 miles beyond the frontier, and thus , between Jezzine and Damascus, the enemy still held a deep , wedge of territory embracing the Litani Valley, Mount Hermon and its foothills . In the eastern sector the Vichy forces defending Damascus on the lin e of the Nahr el Awaj were in a very strong position . East of the road they had good cover for infantry and tanks in gardens and among houses behin d which rose the steep boulder-strewn Jebel el Kelb and Jebel Abou Atriz on which the defenders were strongly sited . West of the road stood th e Tel Kiswe, Tel Afair, and Jebel Madani, which commanded both the Deraa and the Kuneitra roads . Most of the undulating lower country was scattered with lava boulders which made it impossible for wheele d vehicles to leave the roads, and even impeded the movement of infantry , who cut their boots to pieces in a few hours of marching over the stones . It will be recalled that, on the 14th Brigadier Lloyd had replaced th e wounded General Legentilhomme in command of the British and Free French forces ; Colonel Jones took over the Indian brigade . Lloyd's plan of attack provided that the Indian brigade, plus the Free French battalion of marines, should attack west of the road before dawn on the 15th an d occupy Moukelbe, Tel Kiswe and Kiswe village, whereupon, about 8 a .m.

  • The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference
    The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference Christopher A. Lizotte A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Katharyne Mitchell, Chair Victoria Lawson Michael Brown Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Geography ©Copyright 2017 Christopher A. Lizotte University of Washington Abstract The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference Christopher A. Lizotte Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Katharyne Mitchell Geography I examine a package of educational reforms enacted following the January 2015 attacks in and around Paris, most notably directed at the offices of the satirical publication Charlie Hebdo. These interventions, known collectively as the “Great Mobilization for the Republic’s Values”, represent the latest in a string of educational attempts meant to reinvigorate a sense of national pride among immigrant-descended youth – especially Muslim – in France’s unique form of state secularism, laïcité. While ostensibly meant to apply equally across the nationalized French school system, in practice La Grande Mobilisation has been largely enacted in schools located in urban spaces of racialized difference thought to be “at risk” of anti-republican behavior. Through my work, I show that practitioners exercise their own power by subverting and adapting geopolitical discourses running through educational laïcité – notably global security, women’s rights, and communalism – are nuanced by school-based practitioners, who interpret state directives in the light of their institutional knowledge and responsiveness to the social and economic profiles of their student populations.
