Abstract
France's role in an expanded EU of 27 member states is often presented as one of French arrogance, domination and hegemony. Christian Lequesne's book challenges this view, arguing that France has lacked the confidence and ambition to lead in an expanded EU. Its difficult relationships with new member states, and its ambivalent support to enlargement in the 1990s, are the product of a country unsure of its own role in Europe and in the world. Lequesne's book should serve as a starting point for reflecting about the impact of 1989 on European integration, the nature of the EU enlargement process and the reasons behind France's hesitant embrace of globalization.
