	Gaullism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The main policies of grandeur — that is, the insistence that France is a major power in the world scene and the establishment of military and economic forces to back this claim.
		The first logo of the RPR recalls the Gaullist inheritance with the Cross of Lorraine, symbol of the Free French, drawn on top of the phrygian cap (normally worn by Marianne).
		The "Gaullists" as a political group used to refer to the Union des Démocrates pour la République.

		At Pompidou's suggestion, Chirac ran as a Gaullist for a seat in the National Assembly in 1967.
		(Gaullists have historically supported a strong central government and independence in foreign policy.) Although more of a "Pompidolian" than a "Gaullist," Chirac was well situated in de Gaulle's entourage, being related by marriage to the general's sole companion at the time of the June 1940 Appel.
		Giscard, not himself a member of the Gaullist Union des Démocrates pour la République (UDR), saw in the essentially pragmatic Chirac the qualities needed to reconcile the "Giscardian" and "non-Giscardian" factions of the parliamentary majority.

		The basic tenets were that France should not have to rely on any foreign country for its survival (thus the creation of the French nuclear deterrent) and that France should refuse subservience to any foreign power, be it the United States or the Soviet Union.
		One may also cite social conservatism, and economic dirigisme as parts of the Gaullist ideology, but these are not necessarily accepted by those who called themselves Gaullists.
		The "Gaullists" as a political group are referred to the Union des Démocrates pour la République.

	The Scotsman - International - Chirac's Gaullist party disbanded to make way for broader union (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Brushing aside their nostalgia, the party faithful were anxious to avoid a funereal mood because the death of the Gaullist RPR, scheduled since the re-election of their leader in May, is to pave the way for the Union for the Presidential Majority (UMP), an umbrella party of the Right, on 17 November.
		The fledgling UMP was cobbled together in haste to ensure a conservative victory in the parliamentary elections after the shocking success of Jean-Marie Le Pen, leader of the extreme-right National Front, in the first round of the presidential elections.
		Although mostly indifferent to the change in party name - the Gaullist movement has already changed its name ten times - many are unhappy about sharing their party with the centrists and liberals they have battled for so long.

	Jacques Chirac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As prime minister, Chirac quickly set about persuading the Gaullists that, despite the social reforms proposed by President Giscard, the basic tenets of Gaullism, such as national and European independence, would be retained.
		By an astute move he secured his election as secretary-general of the Gaullist UDR in the face of potential opposition from the party "barons" and soon afterwards consolidated his hold over the majority by easily defeating an opposition motion of censure.
		To win he had to first see off a challenge from a fellow Gaullist – prime minister Édouard Balladur (who ran as an independent, though supported by a large share of Chirac's RPR, and finished third in the first round).

		First of all, Gaullist principles are very flattering and easy to accept for a country "given toward national exceptionalism." Additionally, Gaullist ideas appear to be so ingrained in the French mind-set that politicians consider it to be political suicide to attempt any kind of debate of them.
		The Gaullist reticence towards NATO hindered any discussion of reforming post-Cold War European security structures, discussion that was needed for the Alliance to cope with a new geopolitical scenario.
		Gaullist principles have long kept France out of the NATO loop, a position that left France unable to foster needed discussion about a European identity for the Atlantic Alliance.

		One may also cite social conservatism, and economic dirigisme and volontarisme as parts of the Gaullist ideology, but these are not necessarily accepted by those who called themselves Gaullists.
		Gaullism is generally considered a right-wing ideology, but there have also been left-wing Gaullists — and the differences between the two lay in social and economic policies.
		In that respect, it is argued that Jacques Chirac, in theory a Gaullist, is not a true Gaullist.

		The Gaullist party is a political party that has attempted to appear to put the nation first and to stand above tactical parliamentary quarrels.
		This study has also shown that the ideological character and political identity of the Gaullist parties have had a significance which exceeded the person of Charles de Gaulle.
		During the 1960s and 1970s, the Gaullist party developed a party ideology which authorized independent national political activity with claims to governing power, both before and after de Gaulle himself had left the presidency.

	Video confession claims Chirac ordered cover-up [Free Republic]
		As an investigating judge seized the video tapes containing the confessions of the late Jean-Claude Méry, France was shocked by the second instalment of allegations in which the Gaullist party fixer admitted that he had refused to co-operate with investigators in 1994 after being arrested on suspicion of running a slush fund for the party.
		The denials from the President and other Gaullist figures did little, however, to quell an uproar that eclipsed the final day's campaigning for a referendum tomorrow on shortening the presidential term from seven to five years.
		M Halphen was said to believe that the tapes could provide the missing link in an investigation into the alleged scheme of systematic kickbacks from Paris public works contracts that was suspended last year for lack of evidence.

	Gordon, P.H.: A Certain Idea of France: French Security Policy and Gaullist Legacy.
		Philip Gordon shows that the Gaullist model, contrary to widely held beliefs, has lived on--but that its inherent inconsistencies have grown more acute with increasing European unification, the diminishing American military role in Europe, and related strains on French military budgets.
		The question today is whether the Gaullist legacy will enable a strong and confident France to play a full role in Europe's new security arrangements or whether France, because of its will to independence, is destined to play an isolated, national role.
		He reveals how and why Gaullist ideas have for so long influenced French security policy and examines possible new directions for France in an increasingly united but potentially unstable Europe.

	Chirac wins French presidency with 82 percent of the vote Gaullist president backed by Socialist Party, CP, Greens
		The incumbent president of France, Gaullist leader Jacques Chirac, has won reelection for a five-year term after defeating the neo-fascist Jean-Marie Le Pen of the National Front in the May 5 runoff election, by a margin of approximately 82 to 18 percent of the vote.
		Following the first round of the election April 21, in which Chirac and Le Pen finished first and second ahead of Socialist Party (SP) prime minister and presidential candidate Lionel Jospin, the French political and media establishment, including its official left wing, carried out a concerted campaign to assure a resounding victory for Chirac.
		The Jospin government will officially resign May 6 and be replaced by a right-wing interim administration, probably headed by either Jean-Pierre Raffarin of the Liberal Democratic party or Gaullist Nicolas Sarkozy, which will serve until the legislative elections June 9 and 16.

		J.F. Bosher argues that the motivation behind all these incidents was a policy of underhanded imperial ambition on the part of France.In The Gaullist Attack on Canada he contends that behind the screen of harmless fraternizing of international francophonie, French nationalists have been at work to stimulate French revolutionary nationalism in Quebec and elsewhere.
		He argues that the Gaullist ideology behind these attempts rests on a set of myths about past events, age-old resentment of the English‐ speaking nations, and a deep-rooted belief in the superiority of France, its language, and its culture.
		Marcel Cadieux, the under-secretary of state for External Affairs in the 1960s, wanted to take vigorous steps against the Gaullist mafia but was overruled by his political superiors.

		In the past, Chirac himself often spoke of himself as a Gaullist.

		Collovald also notes that when Chirac established a wide-ranging Gaullist party known as the Rally for the Republic (RPR) a quarter of a century ago, he sent some of his aides to the United States to study the structure of the Republican Party.

		Result: Socialist Lionel Jospin became Prime Minister, sharing power with Chirac under an awkward arrangement known as cohabitation, while the Gaullists and their center-right allies were suddenly relegated to the opposition benches.
		But the orgy of self-recrimination, as well as the unprecedented level of voter disenchantment, suggests that Gaullism itself may be a spent force in French political life.
		Historically, Gaullism is rooted in the General's wartime role: his escape to London in 1940, his leadership of the Resistance, his success at forcing the Allies to include France among the four victorious powers.

	McNair Paper 43 - Chapter 5
		For France in the Mitterrand era, 1960s-style Gaullist policies of maximum feasible national independence and autonomy were impossible.
		Gaullist thinking of a 1960s style became increasingly counterproductive to the main goal of Gaullist policy: serving the national interest.
		In the Mitterrand years it became clear that to follow de Gaulle's example, rightly understood, means not to be "Gaullist" in the anachronistic sense of sticking, whatever the consequences, to the policies of the 1960s.

		This is the first book-length attempt to provide a political and historical synthesis of the quarter-century (1958-81) the Gaullists were in power in France while putting the Fifth Republic they created into a broader comparative perspective.
		He then demonstrates that the difficulties the Gaullists and their Socialist successors have faced may be symptomatic of the kinds of problems the entire advanced industrialized world will encounter as we move into the next century.
		In Part Three, the author explores how the Gaullists and their allies used the levers provided them by the constitution and by political reforms to take consistent, systematic, and long-term steps to deal with problems that had confounded their predecessors for generations.
