Bibliography

Without claiming to compete with professional documentation centres, we gather references – open access wherever possible – on French contributions to Euro-Atlantic security:

  • publications, some of them old and little known, on the Atlantic Alliance and European security;
  • work on France’s contribution to the Alliance and to European security;
  • publications by French authors and researchers, in French (one of NATO’s two official languages) as well as in English.
