This study begins by establishing that Vichy France had neither the will nor the capacity to export Pétainism abroad. It examines Pétain’s regime in the metropole and exposes the vacuity of the National Revolution as a coherent force. It looks at the opposing forces within the metropolitan government and the constraints imposed by the occupying German authorities to determine that there was no one version of the National Revolution, much less one that could be exported twelve thousand kilometers away to a Southeast Asian colony that had drastically different socioeconomic characteristics. The dissertation then explains that the Decoux regime is best understood in light of the ideological influence of ultraconservative Charles Maurras on the officers of the French Navy, including Decoux, whose writings and actions reflected the views of Action française. This study shows how Decoux used Vichy’s National Revolution as a vehicle to design policy geared toward winning the hearts and minds of the peoples of Indochina and overcoming the colony’s slide into autarky, objectives that were essential for the survival of French authority in the colony. Chapter 4 examines how Decoux perfected the administration’s propaganda machine—which utilized coercion, censorship, rituals, and festivals—to draw parallels between French and Indochinese cultures to glorify the colonial oeuvre in the region. Chapter 5 looks at the regime’s v administrative reforms, orchestration of sporting events, and use of the Légion française des combattants as desperate endeavors to create the illusion of a nascent federalist spirit guided by a united French community. Chapter 6 focuses on Decoux’s reorganization of the economy, designed to prove that the colonial authorities could still provide for the Indochinese peoples in spite of the region’s increasingly autarkical situation. Throughout this dissertation, I stress Decoux’s relative autonomy from the Pétainist agenda that existed (in rhetoric if not in practice) in the metropole, maintaining that his primordial objective was the salvation of any pretense of colonial legitimacy in the region, in spite of what would turn out to be an impossible situation for the French. vi French Indochina1 1 . http://www.casahistoria.net/images/indochina_conquest_map.gif vii France During the Second World War2 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ File:France_map_Lambert-93_with_regions_and_departments-occupation.svg viii Chapter I: Introduction and Overview How did the unique strategic and political situation in French Indochina allow Governor General Jean Decoux to implement his own brand of authoritarianism in the colony during the Second World War in an attempt to win the hearts and minds of the European and Indochinese peoples? This dissertation seeks to answer this question by exploring how the French colonial administration sought to fulfill its mission of maintaining French sovereignty in the region by balancing its policy- making between the ideological prevalence of a Maurrassian worldview and the endogenous and exogenous factors that required a more pragmatic approach given Indochina’s unique geopolitical situation. Moving away from the idea that Hanoi indiscriminately followed a Pétainist agenda and that Vichy “actually cloned itself overseas,”1 this study will show that the Decoux regime acted with significant autonomy to face its challenges, though its politics had the same ultraconservative and anti-republican ideological roots as those that inspired the National Revolution in the metropole. The marked cultural, socio-political, and economic differences that characterized France (as the metropole) and the five pays that constituted the colony rendered it impossible to import a carbon copy of the Pétainist program in Indochina, particularly given the colonists’ precarious hold on the region.2 Moreover, Decoux’s proconsulship outlasted the Vichy government by more than six months 1. Eric Jennings, Vichy in the Tropics: Pétain's National Revolution in Madagascar, Guadeloupe, and Indochina, 1940-1944 (Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2001), 2. 2. The term pays refers to the five regions of Indochina: Tonkin, Annam, Cochinchina, Laos, and Cambodia. 1 and Pierre Laval’s return to power in April 1942 arguably ended the prominence of the National Revolution in France itself, providing Hanoi with the opportunity to implement policies aligned with Decoux’s own worldview. The first goal of this project is to examine how the Decoux administration used the National Revolution as a vehicle to promote its own agenda, inspired by Maurrassism, with policies aiming to justify the five pays’ relationships with France, through the nurturing of a federalist spirit and concrete administrative and economic changes designed to promote the idea of France as Indochina’s natural protector and intellectual guide, in spite of its status as a weakened global power. The third goal is to contribute to a literature that has received little attention from scholars, including French historians, thereby increasing awareness for the legacy of the regime and its effects on post-Second World War Indochina. Overview and Existing Literature Much of the scholarly consideration devoted to the Vichy government has either focused on state collaboration and the persecution of Jews in France or the role of the leaders and the mass following they fostered and lost. Other contemporary works have examined how the French extreme Right seized power and the social foundations it tried to lay through the National Revolution. Even more profuse are the efforts to build theoretical models and case studies accounting for the emergence of nationalism in Western and non-Western regions and the struggles for independence that sometimes ensued. Indochina, and Vietnam in particular, has generated a considerable amount of interest due to its 2 violent experience with decolonization and its role in Cold War containment history. Meanwhile the French empire during the Second World War has mostly been examined for its diplomatic or strategic value. With few exceptions, the contexts within which the imperial administration in Indochina implemented policies bore of anti-republican ideologies, the point where these bodies of literature intersect, have been overlooked. Traditionally, historians have designated this time in Indochinese history as the “Japanese period,” implicitly bypassing or downplaying the importance of the internal administrative and political machine that the occupying forces allowed the French to run. When not looking at Indochina as a mere piece in the United States’ quest for a decolonized post-war Asia (a vision that disappeared at Yalta in February 1945), scholars have most often focused on Franco-Japanese relations and the unfolding of events that took place ahead of the coup de force of 9 March 1945. Brocheux and Isoart present a well documented account of how the Japanese stationnement presented diplomatic and strategic dilemmas for France and opportunities seized by Vietnamese nationalists.3 In a book rich on archival research but often short on analysis, Jaques Valette shows the often conflicting opinions and directions of French decision- making vis-à-vis the Japanese and the mixed results that ensued.4 Meanwhile Philippe Grandjean puts Japan at the center of colonial decision-making, with international relations

    Historique de l’Action française Marie Lan Nguyen (ENS) 2004 1 Les débuts (1899–1918) 1.1 L’Affaire Dreyfus aux origines de l’Action française 1.1.1 Charles Maurras Charles Maurras naît en 1868 à Martigues d’un père percepteur des impôts, libéral et romantique, et d’une mère dévote et royaliste. À l’issue de ses études secondaires, il monte à Paris et devient journaliste, travaillant d’abord à La Cocarde (boulangiste) puis à la Gazette de France et au Soleil, journaux royalistes. Grand admirateur de la Grèce, ses préoccupations sont alors essentiellement littéraires. Il s’engage dans l’action politique à l’occasion de l’affaire Dreyfus. Convaincu d’abord de la culpabilité de Dreyfus, il admet ensuite ensuite le doute. Mais pour lui, même la souffrance d’un innocent doit s’effacer devant la stabilité de l’armée et de la France, mise en péril par l’affaire. Dans cet esprit, il lance en 1898 dans la Gazette de France l’idée du « faux patriotique Henry ». C’est son grand mot d’ordre, « le Politique d’abord ». Le but de Maurras est d’ériger un système positif et machiavélien, partant du « postulat nationaliste », contre la décadence ayant suivi la défaite de 1870, et plus avant encore la Révolution française, mère d’une société corrompue où manque le principe unitaire monarchique. Pour Maurras, quatre « états confédérés » composent l’Anti-France et ont donné lieu à la démocratie parlementaire : ce sont les Juifs, les francs-maçons, les protestants et les métèques (étrangers), qui tous font passer leurs solidarités propres avant la Nation.

The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 87,402 words. 2 Abstract Following the Fall of France in 1940, the nation’s industry was fundamentally reorganised under the Vichy regime. This thesis traces the history of the keystones of this New Industrial Order, the Organisation Committees, by focusing on the organisation of the French steel industry between the end of the Third Republic in 1940 and the establishment of the Fourth Republic in 1946. It challenges traditional views by showing that the Committees were created largely to facilitate economic collaboration with Nazi Germany.

  • The Mountain Is High, and the Emperor Is Far Away: States and Smuggling Networks at the Sino-Vietnamese Border
    The Mountain Is High, and the Emperor Is Far Away: States and Smuggling Networks at the Sino-Vietnamese Border Qingfei Yin The intense and volatile relations between China and Vietnam in the dyadic world of the Cold War have drawn scholarly attention to the strategic concerns of Beijing and Hanoi. In this article I move the level of analysis down to the border space where the peoples of the two countries meet on a daily basis. I examine the tug-of-war between the states and smuggling networks on the Sino-Vietnamese border during the second half of the twentieth century and its implications for the present-day bilateral relationship. I highlight that the existence of the historically nonstate space was a security concern for modernizing states in Asia during and after the Cold War, which is an understudied aspect of China’s relations with Vietnam and with its Asian neighbors more broadly. The border issue between China and its Asian neighbors concerned not only territorial disputes and demarcation but also the establishment of state authority in marginal societies. Keywords: smuggler, antismuggling, border, Sino-Vietnamese relations, tax. Historically, the Chinese empire and, to a lesser extent, the Dai Nam empire that followed the Chinese bureaucratic model had heavyweight states with scholar-officials chosen by examination in the Confucian classics (Woodside 1971). However, as the proverb goes, the mountain is high, and the emperor is far away. Vast distances and weak connections existed between the central government and ordinary people. Central authorities thus had little influence over local affairs, including their own street-level bureaucracies.

  • Synarchy Movement of Empire Book Ii
    SYNARCHY MOVEMENT OF EMPIRE BOOK II THE MODERN SYNARCHY INTERNATIONAL by Pierre Beaudry LAVAL BEASTMAN OF VICHY LEESBURG, Va. June 20, 2005 1 DEDICATION This book is dedicated to the LaRouche Youth Movement (LYM) worldwide, and particularly to the French LYM, who deserve to know the truth about French history and world affairs. Previous generations of French citizens had settled their accounts with their immediate past history by either going to war, or by getting involved into absurd coups d'Etat, however, they never knew why they were doing so. My generation of Bohemian Bourgeois (BoBos) has not done that; it didn't care to do anything for history, nor for the future generations. It was only interested in lying and in taking care of "Me, Me, Me!" The problem that the youth of today are face with is that the truth about the French Revolution, about Napoleon Bonaparte, about the Synarchy, about the destruction of the Third Republic, or about Vichy has never been told. So, either the truth comes out now, and finally exorcises the French population as a whole, once and forever, or else the French nation is doomed to repeat the same mistakes of the past, again and again. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS BOOK II THE MODERN SYNARCHY INTERNATIONAL 1.1 SAINT YVES D'ALVEYDRE: THE SYNARCHY OF A ONE-WORLD EMPIRE …………… 8 ***** 1.2 INTRODUCTION 2.2 AGAINST THE PEACE OF WESTPHALIA AND AMERICA 3.2 A SYNARCHIST CONSTITUTION FOR EUROPE 4.2 SYNARCHIST ALLIANCE AGAINST ISLAM AND THE "TARTARS" 5.2 THE EXCLUSION OF ISLAM 6.2 SAINT-YVES D'ALVEYDRE, A VICTIM OF BIPOLARITY 7.2 THE HATRED OF PLATO AND OF {AGAPE} 8.2 THE CREATION OF THE {ORDRE MARTINISTE ET SYNARCHIQUE} 9.2 THE MYSTICAL ORIGINS OF THE SYNARCHY DOCTRINE 10.2 EISENHOWER INVITED TO HEAD THE AMERICAN SYNARCHY .

  • Die Action Française
    ERNST NOLTE DIE ACTION FRANCAISE 1899-1944 Die Action francaise ist aus der Dreyfus-Affäre entstanden, wie die Regierungs­ beteiligung der Sozialisten, die Trennung von Staat und Kirche, die reelle Unter­ stellung der militärischen Gewalt unter die zivile aus dieser unblutigsten aller Revolutionen1 hervorgegangen sind. Aber auch die Differenzierung von Sozialismus und Kommunismus, die Entstehung des Zionismus und die Ausbildung der letzten gedanklichen Konsequenzen des Antisemitismus2 sind mit der Affäre mehr oder minder deutlich verknüpft. Mit ihr beginnt in Frankreich das XX. Jahrhundert, das im übrigen Europa erst mit dem Weltkrieg seinen Anfang nimmt3. Die Action francaise kann in diesem Zusammenhang nur dann von bedeutendem Interesse sein, wenn in ihr bereits wesentliche Züge der späteren, zu Recht oder zu Unrecht „faschistisch" genannten politischen Phänomene präformiert sind, wenn sie also in gewisser Hinsicht selbst schon ein Faschismus ist: der erste von allen. Eben diese Vermutung aber stößt auf die ernsthaftesten Bedenken4. Bleibt der Rationalismus der Action francaise nicht weit entfernt von jenem ungestümen Irrationalismus, der später in Italien und in Deutschland das Handeln so gut wie das Denken zu beherrschen scheint? Ist sie als kleine, für die parlamentarische Kräfteverteilung bedeutungslose Gruppe von Intellektuellen nicht ganz anderer Natur als die gewaltigen Massenbewegungen des italienischen Faschismus und des deutschen Nationalsozialismus? Ist ihr Monarchismus, ihre konservative und gegen­ revolutionäre Tendenz nicht geradezu das Gegenteil des revolutionären Verände­ rungswillens, der Hitler und Mussolini in einen gnadenlosen Kampf mit den kon­ servativen Kräften ihrer Länder führte? Diese Fragen sind ohne eine umfassende Analyse der Ideologien, der Organisa­ tionsformen und Aktionstendenzen nicht zu klären; sie dürfte zur Ausbildung von begrifflichen Unterscheidungen führen, die sich ebenso entfernt zu halten 1 Vgl.
