This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of France's African intervention policy and the diverse strategies employed to legitimize its actions within the United Nations, the European Union, and various ad hoc multilateral frameworks. France's enduring capacity to exert military power on the African continent and shape political events has played a pivotal role in shaping its self-perception as a significant global player. However, the aftermath of the Cold War has witnessed a growing skepticism towards France's paternalistic interference, particularly among African audiences. This has prompted a gradual and somewhat reluctant shift towards multilateralism among French leaders. By examining in-depth case studies of recent French intervention policy, this edited volume critically assesses France's endeavors to appease critics, alleviate burdens, and reaffirm its status as a major power through the execution of complex missions.

The chapters in this book were originally featured as a special issue of the esteemed Journal of Strategic Studies, further contributing to the discourse on international relations and African affairs.
