Book excerpt: Après avoir été détruite aux deux tiers de son tonnage pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, la Marine marchande française s’est reconstituée en moins de cinq ans. Elle a dû faire face, d’une part à la disparition de ses paquebots de ligne avec l’arrivée sur l’Atlantique nord des premiers avions long-courriers à réaction, d’autre part à la perte de substance du trafic des marchandises sur ses lignes traditionnelles, avec la décolonisation. Précédant en cela les dirigeants des grandes entreprises exportatrices françaises, les armateurs et le personnel navigant, dans leur conquête de nouveaux marchés, ont été confrontés à la question suivante : comment continuer à vivre avec le même niveau de protection sociale et de prévoyance et affronter de manière efficace et équitable la concurrence internationale ? Jusqu’à la fin des années 1970, la flotte française a relevé le défi, multipliant son tonnage par trois et passant en 1975 du 10e au 9e rang mondial. Cependant, après 1980, aux effets de la deuxième crise pétrolière s’ajoutent d’autres facteurs négatifs dont l’absence d’une politique maritime stable. La Marine marchande française connaît alors une récession suivie d’une stabilisation dans les années quatre-vingt-dix. Bernard Cassagnou décrit et explique ces deux grandes mutations, l’une positive, l’autre négative. Et comme le souligne Alain Plessis : « Il ne nous fait pas seulement découvrir ce secteur, sur lequel ce livre constitue désormais une référence obligée, il apporte une contribution à prendre en compte pour donner des réponses aux questions fondamentales que soulève l’histoire économique de la France contemporaine ».
Download or read book The Fall and Rise of French Sea Power written by Hugues Canuel and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fall and Rise of French Sea Power explores the renewal of French naval power from the fall of France in 1940 through the first two decades of the Cold War. The Marine nationale continued fighting after the Armistice, a service divided against itself. The destruction of French sea power—at the hands of the Allies, the Axis, and fratricidal confrontations in the colonies—continued unabated until the scuttling of the Vichy fleet in 1942. And yet, just over twenty years after this dark day, Charles de Gaulle announced a plan to complement the country’s nuclear deterrent with a force of nuclear-powered, ballistic missile-carrying submarines. Completing the rebuilding effort that followed the nadir in Toulon, this force provided the means to make the Marine nationale a fully-fledged blue-water navy again, ready to face the complex circumstances of the Cold War. An important continuum of cooperation and bitter tensions shaped naval relations between France and the Anglo-Americans from World War II to the Cold War. The rejuvenation of a fleet nearly wiped out during the hostilities was underpinned by a succession of forced compromises, often the least bad possible, reluctantly accepted by French politicians and admirals but effectively leveraged in their pursuit of an independent naval policy within a strategy of alliance. Hugues Canuel demonstrates that the renaissance of French sea power was shaped by a naval policy formulated within a strategy of alliance closely adapted to the needs of a continental state with worldwide interests. This work fills a distinct void in the literature concerned with the evolution of naval affairs from World War II to the 1960s. The author, drawing upon extensive research through French, British, American, and NATO archives (including those made public only recently regarding the sensitive circumstances surrounding the French nuclear deterrent) maps out for readers the unique path adopted in France to rebuild a blue-water fleet during unprecedented circumstances.
Download or read book Europe and the Maritime World written by Michael B. Miller and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe and the Maritime World: A Twentieth-Century History offers a framework for understanding globalization over the past century. Through a detailed analysis of ports, shipping and trading companies whose networks spanned the world, Michael B. Miller shows how a European maritime infrastructure made modern production and consumer societies possible. He argues that the combination of overseas connections and close ties to home ports contributed to globalization. Miller also explains how the ability to manage merchant shipping's complex logistics was central to the outcome of both world wars. He chronicles transformations in hierarchies, culture, identities and port city space, all of which produced a new and different maritime world by the end of the century.

Download or read book Revolutionary Paris and the Market for Netherlandish Art written by Darius A. Spieth and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish paintings were aesthetic, intellectual, and economic touchstones in the Parisian art world of the Revolutionary era, but their importance within this framework, while frequently acknowledged, never attracted much subsequent attention. Darius A. Spieth’s inquiry into Revolutionary Paris and the Market for Netherlandish Art reveals the dominance of “Golden Age” pictures in the artistic discourse and sales transactions before, during, and after the French Revolution. A broadly based statistical investigation, undertaken as part of this study, shows that the upheaval reduced prices for Netherlandish paintings by about 55% compared to the Old Regime, and that it took until after the July Revolution of 1830 for art prices to return where they stood before 1789.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuisine and Culture presents a multicultural and multiethnic approach that draws connections between major historical events and how and why these events affected and defined the culinary traditions of different societies. Witty and engaging, Civitello shows how history has shaped our diet--and how food has affected history. Prehistoric societies are explored all the way to present day issues such as genetically modified foods and the rise of celebrity chefs. Civitello's humorous tone and deep knowledge are the perfect antidote to the usual scholarly and academic treatment of this universally important subject.

Download or read book France in the South Pacific written by Denise Fisher and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France is a Pacific power, with three territories, a military presence, and extensive investments. Once seen by many as a colonial interloper in the South Pacific, by the early 2000s, after it ended nuclear testing in French Polynesia and negotiated transitional Accords responding to independence demands in New Caledonia, France seems to have become generally accepted as a regional partner, even if its efforts concentrate on its own territories rather than the independent island states. But Frances future in the region has yet to be secured. By 2014 it is to have handed over a set of agreed autonomies to the New Caledonian government, before an independence referendum process begins. Past experience suggests that a final resolution of the status of New Caledonia will be divisive and could lead once again to violent confrontations. In French Polynesia, calls continue for independence and for treatment under UN decolonisation procedures, which France opposes. Other island leaders are watching, so far putting faith in the Noumea Accord, but wary of the final stages. The issues and possible solutions are more complex than the French Pacific island population of 515,000 would suggest. Combining historical background with political and economic analysis, this comprehensive study offers vital insight into the intricate history -- and problematic future -- of several of Australias key neighbours in the Pacific and to the priorities and options of the European country that still rules them. It is aimed at policy-makers, scholars, journalists, businesspeople, and others who want to familiarise themselves with the issues as Frances role in the region is redefined in the years to come.
Download or read book L approvisionnement des villes portuaires en Europe du XVIe si cle nos jours written by Caroline Le Mao and published by PU Paris-Sorbonne. This book was released on 2015 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La quatrième de couverture indique : "Si l'approvisionnement urbain en général est aujourd'hui assez bien connu, la spécificité des villes dans lesquelles le port et ses activités tiennent une place majeure n'a guère été mise en évidence jusqu'alors. Pour nourrir une population très fluctuante, pour répondre aux besoins de la marine ou pour fournir les matières nécessaires à l'industrie portuaire (construction navale, industries agro-alimentaires), ces cités développent des réseaux de ravitaillement variés, qui s'appuient tout à la fois sur leur arrière-pays et sur leur foreland. L'intense activité engendrée par ces approvisionnements très divers marque en profondeur le paysage. L'aménagement des quais, la construction de zones de stockage et le développement d'industries de transformation (biscuiterie, raffinerie, huilerie) façonnent l'espace urbain. L'arrivée de produits exotiques ou de poissons en quantité donne une touche originale à l'alimentation locale. de nombreux acteurs (négociants, Etat, autorités municipales) participent à ces approvisionnements et développent des stratégies pour s'adapter aux variations de la conjoncture (crises de production, guerres)."
