Abstract
This paper explains that the French Foreign Legion was and continues to be a legitimate fighting force, unique to France and the French experience, while still capturing the collective imagination of the world. The author points out that the legacy of the Legion?s colonialist history and its impact on the perceptions of non-French nations is of an occupying force; the legacy they left behind is one of suffering, tragedy, and oppression. The paper relates that the French Foreign Legion is historically a remarkable organization, marked by extreme loyalty, diversity, and strength; its current role is as a U.N. directed force.
From the Paper
"The Legion was founded in the year 1831 by King Louis Philippe. Although, without question, the Legion is patently French in its ideology, loyalty, and outlook, it is actually an international band of soldiers, joined together to fight for the interests of France. To be sure, because of its rather ?eclectic? nature, many consider the Legion to be the essence of mercenary armies, a ragtag band of men of every nationality, race, and even creed?as well as of every moral and ethical standard, from the brutish thug, to the idealistic soldier, fighting for God and country. However, the true French Foreign Legion is not so simple. In fact, to the French people, themselves, the Legion is a force imbibed with a rich and honorable history?a representation of the collective French consciousness of the power of France, in spite of its international membership."

" DETERMINANTS OF FRENCH FOREIGN POLICY: 1990.1994
Introduction
This research examines the determinants of French foreign policy during the 1990.1994 period. Each factor that has had an important impact on the character of French foreign policy during the period of interest is addressed in separate discussions.
Process
The prime minister in France is head of government, as opposed to the president who is head of state. Political power in the Fifth Republic is, thus, effectively split between the president and the prime minister. French President Francois Mitterrand is head of the nation's Socialist Party, and until 1993 had exercised the decisive role in the establishment of French foreign policy ("Change at last..." 1994, pp. 57-58).

From the Paper
"With the discovery of the "New World" came an increased need for European nations be competitive for resources. The concept of mercantilism that drove European political and economic understanding argued that there were limited resources and that power is granted to the class of individuals who can first recover this source of wealth. When French and English governments saw that the Spanish returned from America filled with reservoirs of precious metals and gold, they also wanted to be included in the wealth of discovery. Even as Columbus continued to comb the West Indies, both France and England sent explorative teams to the northern reaches of the American continent."

French Trade Unions, 2002.
A look at the negative impact of trade unionism in France.
2,658 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 15 sources, MLA, $ 79.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how France is notable as a nation because it is a capitalist, democratic nation with a strong history and tradition of trade unionism. It attempts to analyze how the idealistic philosophy that was so influential in defending the rights of individual French workers has since become anachronistic and how, today, the unions themselves, rather than acting as advocates have become bureaucratic organizations with their own political and economic interests; they also represent outdated advocates of an economic philosophy that is inappropriate to the modern nation of France and the world economy today. It also shows how the impact of trade unionism has had a negative effect on French tourism and the ability of the French economy to respond flexibly to the needs of a changing global economy.
From the Paper
"During the strike, the French subway system and virtually all forms of accessible public transport were paralyzed. The result nearly jeopardized France?s ability to become integrated into the European Union. Images of famously fashion-conscious French women wearing sneakers, walking to work were disseminated around the world as a kind of ironic visual commentary upon the proceedings. (?Culture France,? Lonely Planet Guide) In 2001, when the Euro was first introduced, the introduction of the new currency was met with calls for a nation-wide bank strike rather than a debate about the issue. (Henley, ?French Unions Cash in on Euro Launch,? The Guardian, 2001) What efficacy could an internal strike have upon a global issue, one might ask? However, striking rather than debate and negotiation has become the knee-jerk response of the unions to almost all issues."

From the Paper
"Because of deteriorating relations between the United States and Muslim governments throughout the Middle East, France and other European powers such as Germany and Russia are recognizing that they must demonstrate leadership in the international community and make every effort to pursue diplomatic solutions. According to my analysis, Democratic control of the U. S. Congress, and recent calls by American leaders for a diplomacy and political solutions are providing France with an opportunity to take the initiative and play a leading international role in brokering peace agreements between Israel and the Palestinians, and some form of ceasefire in Iraq."

Abstract
This essay examines how Anglo-American relations improved following the War of Independance, only to deteriorate again during the Napoleonic Wars. It contrasts British attempts to gain complete control of the sea to combat Napoleon, with U.S. attempts to break this control in order to increase her own foreign trade.
From the Paper
"Following the end of the War of Independence, relations between Britain and the United States slowly improved. Many felt that because of the shared language, religion and culture the two countries should work together, especially economically. This was especially true in Britain, where the ideas of Adam Smith were beginning to take hold, and free trade with America became an attractive idea. In the United States, Republicans still disliked the British, but the Federalists did not want to continue any rivalries and shared the British views on trade between the nations."

Abstract
This paper looks at the problem of fracture sociale in France. The author examines this problem as seen in ?Le D?ner du Cons? and ?La Haine? and compares the two with particular attention to class and social barriers in modern France.
From the Paper:
"?Le D?ner de Cons? is a farcical comedy about a club of bored, successful and obnoxious Parisians whose lives revolve around a male adolescent game of one-upmanship. Pierre Brochant is an arrogant publishing executive who livens up his upper class existence by attending idiot dinners. The concept is discomforting, rooted as it is in an attitude of arrogant superiority."

The Influence of Trade Unions in France, 2001.

Abstract
This paper examines how the French trade union movement has shared many of the problems that have dented the power of trade unions across Western Europe and how it has faced many additional difficulties which are distinct to France. It looks at how French trade unions are often capable of exerting great political influence and how in particular, they wield a surprisingly great influence concerning issues related to the Welfare State and public sector.
From the Paper
"As mentioned, it would be prudent to begin addressing this question by examining the notion of the ?limited support? for French trade unions. In the past three decades, trade unions across Europe have begun to see their support (primarily in terms of number of members and their level of commitment, and backing from companies and political parties) dwindle as a result of a number of factors, which French trade unions have been similarly affected by. Trade unions have found their economic bargaining positions increasingly weakened as a result of globalisation, whereby unskilled Western European labour competes with cheaper labour from developing countries, and because of the fact that very nearly all workers have now experienced unemployment at some time and are increasingly wary of the threat that it poses."

Abstract
This essay examines the role of the farming peasantry of France in pushing forward the French Revolution. What grievances and suffering had the peasants endured that led to open revolt in 1789, and what revolutionary responses did they take? While not representative of the political or intellectual strength that provoked the French Revolution, the peasant?s role in toppling the old regime cannot be ignored. This essay describes and evaluates that role.
From the Paper
"It should be said before beginning that during the initial struggle between the status quo and the other classes (aristocracy, bourgeoisie, workers), the peasants had played little or no role. In fact, they had literally no part in ?provoking? the first responses and revolts, and before July, 14, 1789 there was scarcely any question of the peasants. Their grievances and complaints were of little interest to the National Assembly, in which they had no members (Lefebvre 131). Yet, if one examines the story of the French peasantry and evidence provided by Georges Lefebvre, it can be argued that they had had been suffering longer and had more to complain about than any of the other classes of French society and that their actions in July and August, 1789 were utterly crucial ones. In the end, it was the mass peasant uprising of 1789 that pushed forward the revolution, destroying the remnants of the manorial and feudal system, and finally bringing all the non-aristocratic social classes in France fully together in their efforts to topple the status quo."

Abstract
It is impossible to assign to any group--nobility, monarchy, bourgeoisie, peasantry, urban commoners, clergy, or philosophers--sole responsibility for creating the conditions that ended in the French Revolution of 1789. The paper shows, however, that in any of the dominant historical explanations, the role of the nobility remains the strongest element in setting the scene for the Revolution. This is true whether one considers the passive or active nature of its influence. A review of some common theories of the origins of the Revolution in this paper demonstrate that the nobility always bore major, and often primary, responsibility for setting the scene of Revolution.
From the Paper
"The popular image of the French Revolution is that of the haughty, remote, untalented Louis XVI and the spendthrift, irresponsible Marie Antoinette driving the country to near-bankruptcy and causing a general reaction against the selfishness and autocratic ways of the absolute monarchy. There is, of course, some truth in the claim that the royal couple's ineptitude was the major cause of the Revolution. Bernier holds, for instance, that when, on the day Louis XV died, the new king dismissed the old ministers, because "Marie Antoinette insisted," the "seeds of the Revolution were sown" (52). Louis XV had started to change the tax system so that the rich would assume a more proportionate share of the burden. The nobility objected strongly and Louis XVI, to gain popularity with them, rejected the ministers and the reforms that might have saved his throne."

Abstract
This paper explores the effects of the opening of the French auction market to foreign auction houses on local French auction houses, the international auction market and the French art market in general. Specific problems that are investigated in include the impact of the French auction market reform on local French auction houses and whether they have thrived in competition with their larger international counterparts.It also looks into related issues, such as whether the change in French legislation has led to the export or import of more works of art into France for sale and whether the high taxes and stringent regulation regarding the sale and exportation of works of art from France offset any increase in the market share that would have come from the liberalization of their auction market.

A Brief History of the Auction Market in France
Changes Brought By the Reform
Impact of the Reform
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ever since the profession of auctioneer was invented in France, some five hundred years ago, they have been government officials, a kind of civil servants appointed by the Ministry of Justice because the art auctioning business was viewed as a public service just like justice and internal affaires. This monopoly was established by a royal edict of Henri II in 1556. All the profits from the activity went to the French state. All these authorized auctioneers were holding a monopoly over the art sales that were conducted on the French market. They were not only controlled and appointed by the government, they are actually considered to be government officials. "

China Market-Foreign Exchange Rate, 2006.
A look at how China uses its foreign exchange rate to make it difficult for foreign goods and imports to penetrate the Chinese market while simultaneously encouraging foreign investment.

»

Abstract
This research examines the supposition that China utilizes its foreign exchange rate to erect an effective barrier to foreign imports of goods and services while it encourages foreign direct investment. The strategy China employs to expand its export market and minimize its import market is simple but effective and not as blatantly antagonistic as an outright tariff on imports or imposition of quotas on imported goods.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Explaining the nature of fraud, de Grey, C.J. stated that though a judgment would be res judicata and not impeachable from within, it might be impeachable from without. In other words, though it is not permissible to show that the court was "mistaken", it might be shown that it was "misled". There is an essential distinction between mistake and trickery. The clear implication of the distinction is that an action to set aside a judgment cannot be brought on the ground that it has been wrongly decided, namely, that on the merits, the decision was one which should not have been rendered, but it can be set aside if the court was imposed upon or tricked into giving the judgment."
