Jacques Chaban-Delmas À Paris, Après Une Semaine De Vacances Passées Sur La Côte Basque
© EDIPA 1974 27, rue de Dunkerque, PARIS 75010 Tous droits réservés JACQUES CHABAN-DELMAS Guy CLAISSE EDITIONS EDIPA - Collection " Close U P " Directeur : Jacques PERRIER Le coup du 4 avril I Mardi 2 avril 1974, dix heures du soir. A la verticale de Poitiers, un violent orage secoue l'avion qui ramène Jacques Chaban-Delmas à Paris, après une semaine de vacances passées sur la Côte Basque. Le député de Bordeaux bavarde tranquillement avec sa femme, Micheline. La radio du bord grésille, inaudible. Coupé du monde extérieur, l'équipage n'entend pas le bref commu- niqué que diffusent à cet instant précis l'O.R.T.F et les stations privées. « Le Président Pompidou est mort... » Pour la seconde fois Président de la République par intérim, Alain Poher n'a été prévenu que dix minutes plus tôt. Toute la France se doutait que Georges Pompidou n'allait pas bien, mais peu de gens savaient que le dénouement était si proche. Le Premier Ministre, Pierre Messmer, a appris la veille qu'il n'y avait plus d'espoir. Le conseiller politique du Président, Pierre Juillet, a passé la soirée du lundi, jusqu'à deux heures du matin, au chevet du mourant, dans l'appartement du Quai de Béthune devenu depuis quinze jours une sorte d'annexe de l'Elysée. Il a mis dans la confidence l'autre éminence grise de la Présidence, Marie- France Garaud, et le ministre de l'Intérieur Jac- ques Chirac. Chaban-Delmas, lui, n'est au courant de rien. Il ignore que la maladie s'est brusquement aggravée en une semaine. -
The French Factor in U.S
The French Factor in U.S. Foreign Policy during the Nixon-Pompidou Period, 1969-1974 Marc Trachtenberg Department of Political Science University of California at Los Angeles July 19, 2010 When Richard Nixon took office as president of the United States in early 1969, he and his national security advisor Henry Kissinger wanted to put America’s relationship with France on an entirely new footing. Relations between the two countries in the 1960s, and especially from early 1963 on, had been far from ideal, and U.S. governments at the time blamed French president Charles de Gaulle for the fact that the United States was on such poor terms with its old ally. But Nixon and Kissinger took a rather different view. They admired de Gaulle and indeed thought of themselves as Gaullists.1 Like de Gaulle, they thought that America in the past had been too domineering. “The excessive concentration of decision-making in the hands of the senior partner,” as Kissinger put it in a book published in 1965, was not in America’s own interest; it drained the alliance of “long-term political vitality.”2 The United States needed real allies—“self-confident partners with a strongly developed sense of identity”—and not satellites.3 Nixon took the same line in meetings both with de Gaulle in March 1969 and with his successor as president, Georges Pompidou, in February 1970. It was “not healthy,” he told Pompidou, “to have just two superpowers”; “what we need,” he said, “is a better balance in the West.”4 This paper was originally written for a conference on Georges Pompidou and the United States which was held in Paris in 2009. -

TEK Transnational Ethnic Connections
Ethnic Power Relations (EPR) Dataset Family EPR-TEK Transnational ethnic connections Transborder Ethnic Kin (TEK) Groups Atlas Version 2021 Seraina R¨uegger∗, Vanessa Kellerhals, Sarah D¨ascher and Lukas Dick Please cite as: R¨uegger,Seraina, Kellerhals, Vanessa, D¨ascher, Sarah and Lukas Dick. 2021. Transborder Ethnic Kin (TEK) Groups Atlas. Online: https: //icr.ethz.ch/data/epr/tek/. Accessed: [Date]. ∗Corresponding author. Email: [email protected]. Description The Transborder Ethnic Kin (TEK) groups Atlas provides a brief description of all ethnic kin groups that live spread across two or more states. Each group comment indicates the name of the group, lists the countries where the group is, or was, politically relevant at some point in time since 1946, and describes the group's common identifier. Transborder ethnic kin groups are ethnic groups that have transnational connections across at least two states, because their settlement area is split by an international border. The TEK dataset identifies trans-border ethnic groups based on a matching of all ethnic groups included in the EPR dataset (Cederman, Wimmer, and Min 2010; Vogt et al. 2015). The EPR-TEK Dataset constitutes a research-ready version of all TEK groups covering 1946 until 2021 in table format (Vogt et al. 2015). It can be downloaded at: https://icr.ethz.ch/data/epr/tek/.

M. le président. La séance est ouverte. En matière de pauvreté et d’exclusion, notre pays (La séance est ouverte à neuf heures.) connaît une situation insoutenable. Les plus grosses richesses côtoient en les ignorant les plus grandes misères. Plus on est riche, plus on gagne de l’argent : les soixante- 1 douze familles les plus fortunées ont vu leur patrimoine s’accroître en moyenne de 53 % en trois ans, soit 126 milliards de francs. C’est la moitié du déficit de la France ! Cette progression de la pauvreté et de l’exclusion RENFORCEMENT DE LA COHÉSION SOCIALE est indigne de notre temps et indigne de la France. -
