Outline - issues in French Foreign Policy under Francois Mitterrand

Francois Mitterrand was President of France from 1981-1995, a time of great historical changes - including the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the strengthening of European integration. His foreign policy record is mixed and this outline provides students with a possible highlight/lowlight starting point from which to conduct research into an enigmatic French politician. This outline formed the basis of the author's class presentation on this topic for the course "1979-1995, the End of the Cold War Era" at the London School of Economics in 2002-2003.
