Extreme Times and Constitutional Imagination: The Proposed FrancoBritish Union of 1940

Chapter 5; in Section The Entente Cordiale: A Legal Approach

This book follows an international symposium which took place in Paris (France) in May 2024 to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale. With contributions from academics (French, British, and American historians), legal practitioners and diplomats, it offers a fresh, transnational, and multidisciplinary perspective on the Entente Cordiale for the first time in post-Brexit Britain. Its main objective is to provide a better understanding of the original Entente Cordiale – explaining its origin and its nature – but also what the Entente means today – and what it might mean tomorrow.
