Franco-German rapprochement: the search for a common denominator
The research analyzes the French-German contacts in the field of defense and security. The purpose of the study is to clarify the limits of cooperation between France and German and explain the content of the term ‘strategic culture’. The author has to abandon the analysis of the Aachen Treaty of 2019 since this instrument has not been properly considered from the defense and security perspective in commentaries available. At the same time, many points of the treaty related to the promotion of the Franco-German cooperation were to be implemented in 2016-2018. Without the analysis of the events of these years, it is difficult to understand the challenges the two countries still have to overcome. This research is based on official documents. Because of the analyzing facts, the theoretical aspect does not play a major role.
