The 2013 French defence White Paper presents a strategic analysis and capability assessment that address the pressing concerns posed by austerity cuts to defence budgets, instability in Europe's neighbourhood, and US rebalancing towards the Asia-Pacific. It proposes ways in which France - and Europe - can remain strategically relevant in this changing environment. In doing so, argues Luis Simón, the White Paper provides a useful blueprint for the European Council meeting in December 2013. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The papers in this issue stem from a symposium presented at the 1992 International Primatological Congress in Strasbourg, France. Due to the paucity of information on social organization, reproduction, and the relation of these to ecology in neotropical primates, we organized this symposium, which included researchers conducting comparative studies and those examining aspects of socioecology in single platyrrhine species. The papers in the symposium are organized around three issues: 1) the relation between body size, ecology, and reproduction (papers by Dietz et al., Tardif, and Williams et al.); 2) ranging and dispersal patterns as determinants of social structure (papers by Boinski and Mitchell, Norconk and Kinzey, and Kinzey and Cunningham); 3) phylogenetic and comparative analyses of behavioral and anatomical traits (Ford and Garber). Within these areas, the papers provide new information and new syntheses of existing information on platyrrhine socioecology. In addition, many detail innovative methodological approaches which could fruitfully be applied to other primates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article reports on the 9th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management, IM 2005, which took place during May 15-19 in Nice, France. This year's IM was under the motto "Managing New Networked Worlds." Information technology and networking technology evolve more quickly than ever.

This article reports on the Fourth International Colloquium on the ecology and biology of weeds held in the University of Provence in Marseille, France from September 18 to 20, 1973. There were 95 participants, representing 15 different nationalities. The first two days were devoted to the formal presentation of papers and the third to a botanical and ecological excursion to the Camargue. One of these papers is by Becker and Guyot which gave details of a survey of the viable weed seeds occurring in soil under different cropping systems in southern areas of France. There were two papers about tropical weeds, one on the weed flora of coffee and cocoa plantations and the other on the biology and incidence of Eupatorium africanum in West Africa. The papers on individual species included one on Sinapis chieranthus which occurs sporadically as a weed in southern areas of Sologne. The botanical excursion in September 20 was conducted by Professor Deleuil of the Botany Department in the University. Many of the interesting plants to be found in that region were seen and some of man's drastic recent developments too, such as building up of industry and digging of drainage channels, which are beginning to have ecological effects upon the area. The flamingos, the wild white horses and the black cattle used in the bull fights were all seen in the protected natural areas.

The article presents information on papers related to business planning that were presented at the "Strategy Formulation: Different Perspectives" conference, which was held in May 1976 in France. The objectives of the conference were: to share widely divergent perspectives on strategy formulation, to recognize that there is no single valid approach but many, and to see if these can, in some ways, be synthesized. Derek Channon's paper "Strategy Formulation As an Analytic Process," discussed the practices of the contemporary national firm. In the paper, "Strategy Formulation As a Structural Process," John Child and Arthur Francis examined the roles of structural techniques in the formulation of business strategies. John Edwards described "Strategy Formulation As a Stylistic Process," emphasizing the notion that the process is significantly influenced by the culture or style of an organization. Claude Faucheux carried this a step farther, and in his paper "Strategy Formulation As a Cultural Process," revealed the different assumptions implicit in the Anglo-Saxon and Latin approaches to strategy formulation.
