Abstract
This chapter addresses France’s and Germany’s respective definitions of military missions and actual deployment; the politics and policies of arms procurement, production, and domestic armaments industries; and both states’ approaches toward arms exports during the decades here under review. This chapter thus completes the comparative analysis of French and German foreign and security policies from roughly 1958, the year de Gaulle re-entered politics, to the end of the century. Though to different degrees and through distinct causal pathways, the various elements of historically rooted French and German domestic constructions explored in this volume have informed and affected the formation of French and German interests and policies across the central domains of foreign and security affairs in important and lasting ways.
