Ce livre s'attache moins à définir le contenu de la politique étrangère française qu’à en démonter les mécanismes d’élaboration et de mise en œuvre. Il se concentre sur la Cinquième République et sur l’actualité des dernières années tout en donnant des aperçus sur les leçons de l’histoire. La politique étrangère ne se résume pas à son aspect géostratégique classique. Elle rassemble des politiques sectorielles : coopération au développement, politique européenne, diplomatie économique, diplomatie culturelle, aide d’urgence.
