William Wallace is Deputy Director and Director of Studies at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, He previously taught at Cornell and Manchester Universities. He has written extensively on British foreign policy, on French and German foreign policy, and on West European co-operation in foreign policy and defence.

If relations between two countries can be described as special, it would certainly be appropriate so to describe the relations between France and Great Britain. In fact, London and Paris continue to feign a cordial lack of interest in each other and, if anything, to cultivate their disagreements. However, they have never been foreigners to one another, and since the beginning of this century their traditional rivalry has been fundamentally modified by the mutual sacrifice of the trenches of the First World War and the difficult, but none the less valued, co-operation during the Second World War.

This common effort, this alliance between two countries at the worst moments of their history, seems not to have left much trace. The two countries remain at worst strangers, at best amused by each other. Between them nothing comparable exists to that which has brought Frenchmen and Germans together over the past twenty-five years. The old tradition of rivalry continues to haunt them. The English commemorate the battle of Blenheim, the French that of Fontenoy.
