Abstract
The quest for a leading role in international politics, or grandeur, was a central element of French foreign policy under both Mitterrand and Chirac, and was itself seen to depend on France retaining its independence from external constraints and being able to define a foreign policy of its own choosing. This chapter investigates this quest for international influence. It examines in particular how it conditioned policies towards NATO, and considers the degree to which NATO policies allowed France to further its international ambitions.
