Chapter One examines French responses to US plans to revitalize US-European relations through a new Atlantic charter. Chapter Two argues that the American "Year of Europe" initiative produced a battle of words and ideas, compelling the French to construct and popularize the notion of a politically---rather than culturally---anchored European identity. Chapter Three demonstrates that the fourth Arab-Israeli war prompted French authorities to give concrete expression to their talk of a European identity by asserting a European voice in the Middle East and Arab world. The ensuing oil crisis exposed European vulnerability to both Arab and US pressure. While examining how the US used its oil leverage to reassert control over its European allies, Chapters Four and Five also illuminate the persistent French effort to implement a ground-breaking "Euro-Arab dialogue." Chapter Six shows how Giscard re-charted the course of French policy, fostering both friendly relations with the US and institutional EC reforms that combined intergovernmental and supranational elements.

520 $a This dissertation offers an interpretation of French European policy during 1973 and 1974, a key juncture in French and world history. Those years witnessed the first oil crisis, which ended a thirty-year period of high economic growth in the West. The death of French President Georges Pompidou and the subsequent election of centrist leader Valery Giscard d'Estaing brought to a close fourteen years of uninterrupted Gaullist rule. Based on recently declassified governmental archives and press records, this study argues that the interlocking events that marked the years 1973 and 1974 prompted French government officials and press commentators to re-envision Europe as both a world actor and a potential locus of popular allegiance. Not only did the French political elites construct and assert a European "identity" in international affairs, Giscard's government also sponsored a cautious move towards a greater degree of supranational governance in the European Community (EC). Those initiatives laid the basis for a remodeled European ideal, wherein Europe would increasingly compete with the nation state as a legitimizing category in French political discourse and praxis.
