Title: Franco-German Friendship: A Dynamic Perspective
Abstract: Recent tensions in Franco-German relations concerning the debt crisis in Europe or the clashes within EADS governance seem to have undermined Franco-German relations. This may of course nurture criticism of the very idea of Franco-German friendship. Talking about Franco-German friendship, Peter Sloterdijk (2009, p. 9) recently stated [that] there can be no relations between them and that their relationship which is officially set out in a treaty of friendship is, at best, what could be described as benevolent mutual disregard or benign estrangement between two former partners in love — and why not also then between two former partners in hate.
