Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Examines the French tradition of obligatory military service & its long association with citizenship. This tradition has played a critical part in the formation of modern French ideology regarding citizenship & war, which occupies a high place on the French scale of values. It is concluded that war is still viewed as an integral part of French citizenship, despite the inappropriateness of this ideology to modern world politics. 29 References.
