Gisela Müller-Brandeck-Bocquet, Professor of Political Science, University of Würzburg, Bavaria, Germany
"Franco-German Relations and European Integration"
Starting with the recent celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the Elysée-Treaty, originally signed in 1963, the lecture scrutinizes the starting point of French-German post war reconciliation and friendship. De facto, the Elysée-Treaty did not entail a specially harmonious period of French-German relations. For it was only after the French presidential election in 1974, that the French-German tandem has become the "motor of European integration." The lecture analyses, different examples at hand, the reasons why the two countries has since then played a very crucial role in the uniting of Europe, even if the German unification has complicated the relations significantly. To conclude, the present state of French-German relations is discussed, showing that the actual strong common stances in the Iraq conflict are rather born out of necessity than of a deep and trustful friendship.
