Abstract:
In the historiography of the colonial empires in the nineteenth century, much attention has been paid to the large European powers Britain and France. When the Dutch colonial empire is studied in an international context it is mostly in relation to the British empire. However, little or no attention has been given by scholars to Franco-Dutch colonial relations. This is surprising given the fact that after Britain, France and the Netherlands were the second and third largest colonial empires. Three Franco-Dutch colonial frontiers existed: in South America between French Guyana and Surinam, in the Caribbean on the island of St Martin and in Africa on the Gold Coast. In Asia, where the most important Dutch colony, Indonesia, was located, the French and Dutch did not have neighbouring possessions. Nonetheless, because of its location, Indonesia was highly important for navigation between France and Indo-China. In each of the regions mentioned above, French colonial administrators or private individuals developed plans to extend French territory at the expense of the Dutch: on St Martin from 1843 to 1853, on the Gold Coast from 1867 to 1871, in South America from 1887 to 1891 in Indonesia in 1888. This article will focus on nineteenth century France-Dutch colonial relations and will. address such questions as: what were the motives of the French administrators and how effectively did they exert pressure on the metropolitan government in order to effect their schemes? What was the role of special interest groups? And finally how did the Netherlands react? Being a small European power, how were they able to resist the French?

Abstract:
If anything is clear to the student of the history of the early modern French colonial enterprise, it is the need for a general overview to equal Boxer's and Parry's fine volumes on the Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish seaborne empires, or George Winius' volume in the Minnesota series. Not that such volumes on the French colonies do not exist, in French. Indeed, there has not been a decade since the 1920s without some such publication. None of them, however, appears to me to be wholly satisfactory. The glorification of the French ‘mission’ characterizing the earlier works nowjars; the more recent works are more balanced, but still, on the whole, too descriptive. This is particularly the case for the Histoire de la France coloniale, des origines à 1914. While the authors responsible for the period which interests us, Jean Meyer and Jean Tarrade, have produced distinguished works on the French overseas empire, their survey remains somewhat uncritical and, at least for the seventeenth century, very thin. As to the treatment of New France, it draws on a rather unreliable series of monographies.

Abstract:
Commenting on the colonial setting in its twilight during the Algerian War of Independence, Frantz Fanon famously observed: “Le travail du colon est de rendre impossible jusqu’aux rêves de liberté du colonisé. Le travail du colonisé est d’imaginer toutes les combinaisons éventuelles pour anéantir le colon (the task of the colonizer is to make impossible even the dreams of liberty of the colonized. The task of the colonized is to conceive of every possible strategy to wipe out the colonizer).”

Abstract:
Abstract Léon Busy (1874–1951) was an amateur photographer mostly known for his autochromes made in French Indochina for Albert Kahn’s multimedia collection “Les Archives de la planète” (Archives of the Planet). In addition to being an operator for Kahn, this article casts light on a less studied part of Busy’s life: his engagement with the French government of Indochina as of 1921. He exhibited his autochromes at the colonial exhibitions in Marseille (1922) and Paris (1931) and also served as head of the photographic section of the Office indochinois du Tourisme et de la Propagande (Indo-Chinese office of tourism and propaganda). This article provides an insight into my current research project and intends to demonstrate Busy’s instrumental role in producing colonial propaganda in color for the French government.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the identification of different French colonial agents whom in their portfolios were able to show their strength and hegemony in one of the former greatest African Empire known as Mali Empire with outstanding Lion King Sundiata Keita and other Kings from 1235 until it’s collapsed. The lucrative economic and commercial activities of the empire called for the attention of different actors in the later centuries at the time thereby making the history of the present day Mali very important to Africa. The French pre-colonial and colonial era dating from 1880 through the Berlin colonial conference of 1884-1885 to the granting of independence in 1960 opened the doors and mechanisms of neo-colonialism characterized with pre-crisis era which became serious challenges to that country till the 21st Century denunciations of French activities in that country. The scrutiny of specialized sources and other related scientific works enable the use of historical approach by bringing the highlights of the Mali Empire before identification of the main European agents. This study is very important because the young generation of historians can open other research activities concerning those specific colonial agents during their tenure of office and any colonial claims still waiting by Africans can be very important with concrete evidences.

Abstract:
The object of this research is the colonial policy of the two largest European empires of the Modern Age: France and Great Britain. In the course of conquering new lands, these countries faced the problem of managing vast territories and diverse indigenous population. The solution consisted in establishment of effective colonial management systems. The peculiarities of functionality of such systems became the subject of this research. The goal lies in determination of specificity of organization and operation of the systems of colonial management in the British and French Empires from the perspective of their interrelation with cultural factors. The conclusion is made that the British Empire retained the traditional government system on the conquered territories – indirect management. The French Empire either replaced the traditional government institutions with European analogues or included traditional system into their system of management as a lower administrative link – direct management. Comparing the described management system, the author notes the French approach was more resource-intensive and did not allow gaining a large profit. This lead to an assumption that the colonial management policy was affected by both, cultural and economic factors. The scientific novelty consists in examination of the systems of colonial management from the perspective of their interrelation with the imperial strategies that are based on the policy of recognition of population differences. Such strategies could be implemented within the framework of two paradigms: unification (formation of the unified imperial culture and institutions in all subordinated territories), and diversity (preservation on the conquered territories of the local cultural and political institutions). Further on, the examples of India, Africa and other regions would demonstrate that there is a direct link between the indicated British and French imperial strategies and systems of colonial management.

Abstract:
This review looks at English- and French-language books on nineteenth- and twentieth-century French colonial history published since 1995. It considers issues of ideology, imperial governance, the mise en valeur (development and ‘improvement’) of colonies (for instance, in health and education policy), the representation of empire in art and architecture, and decolonization. Special attention is paid to Indochina. Recent works have stressed the evolving nature of colonial policy and its adaptability to local circumstances. The review notes a certain divide between works emphasizing the discursive aspect of empire, and more ‘materialist’ treatments, but remarks on a general renewal of interest in colonial history. Contemporary scholars have also given colonial history a more prominent position in French national history than it previously held.

Abstract:
The press was an instrument of colonial governance. Yet newspapers and print also served to connect populations across borders and demonstrated how trans-imperial flows influenced empires. This article examines Arab print networks in North Africa and France. It argues that print networks assisted with processes of colonial expansion while also providing a forum for Muslim activists and Arab modernists to present their views to foreign audiences. This two-way channel illustrates how imperialism engendered new synergies that would influence political developments in both the French empire and the modern Middle East, suggesting that print networks were central to the entangled histories of empire in the modern period.

Abstract:
In May 1940, among panic-stricken ministers and politicians, General de Gaulle was virtually alone to reflect and proclaim that France was not vanquished as long as it retained its colonial empire, which would serve as the springboard for France's future liberation and status as a world power. Not many of his contemporaries shared his conviction, and his loneliness testifies to the detachment of public opinion and politicians vis-a-vis an empire which in extent ranked second only to the British. In spite of the headlines, newsreels, slogans, colonial exhibitions and propaganda, most Frenchmen would have probably agreed that, over the years, the mother country had spent more on its colonies than it had received.

Abstract:
In the 1880s and 1890s, a wave of histories of colonial empire appeared in France. But even though they were produced by members of similar republican colonial advocacy groups, these accounts narrated the history of empire in contradictory ways. Some positioned “colonial empire” as an enterprise with ancient roots, while others treated modern colonization as distinct. Some argued that French colonial empire was a unique enterprise in line with republican ideals, but others insisted that it was a European-wide project that transcended domestic political questions. By tracing the differences between these accounts, this article highlights the flexibility that characterized late nineteenth-century republican understandings of empire. It also points to the ways republican advocates for colonial expansion during this period looked both historically and comparatively to legitimize their visions for empire’s future in France.

Abstract:
La période du «Grand Siècle» en France voit le développement ambitieux de l'empire français continental d'Amérique du Nord, la Nouvelle-France, autour de sa capitale, la ville de Québec. Dès la première partie de son règne, Louis XIV et son secrétaire d'État à la Marine, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, encouragent avec détermination le développement de la colonie, notamment en la dotant d'institutions solides par l'édit de 1663 pour en faire une province royale et pour encourager un peuplement plus important.En 1672, le roi nomme Louis de Buade, comte de Frontenac et de Palluau (1622-1698), «gouverneur et lieutenant-général pour le roi» en Nouvelle-France. Ce gentilhomme, né en 1622 à Saint-Germain-en-Laye où son père et son grand-père étaient gouverneurs du château, appartient à une ancienne famille de la noblesse d'épée. Dans sa jeunesse, Frontenac a fréquemment combattu dans les armées du roi. Toute sa vie publique, en plus d'être celle d'un important administrateur du roi, est également le reflet de l'évolution sociale de la noblesse d'épée française confrontée aux défis du siècle de Louis XIV.Le rôle du gouverneur Frontenac en Amérique du Nord est de renforcer la présence française, notamment menacée par les Anglais et affaiblie par une insuffisance démographique. Il doit aussi contrôler le commerce de traite de fourrures et nouer des relations encore plus étroites avec les Amérindiens en veillant à rester en paix avec eux. Cependant, en 1682, après dix ans passés à Québec, son comportement jugé autoritaire, et notamment ses démêlés avec les autres administrateurs de la Nouvelle-France, en particulier avec l'intendant Jacques Duchesneau ainsi qu'avec les autorités religieuses, provoquent son rappel en France.En 1689, Frontenac est pourtant nommé par le roi une seconde fois gouverneur de la Nouvelle-France et il revient en Amérique du Nord dans le contexte de la guerre de la Ligue d'Augsbourg. Malgré des moyens limités octroyés par la métropole, il parvient à repousser victorieusement «par la bouche de ses canons et à coups de fusils» une importante attaque anglaise menée par le général Phips sur Québec à l'automne 1690, ce qui le fait passer à la postérité. Son deuxième mandat est ensuite largement consacré à créer les conditions d'une paix durable avec les Iroquois. Frontenac meurt finalement en 1698 à Québec. À cette période, la Nouvelle-France atteint sa plus grande expansion territoriale quand est signée avec trente-neuf nations amérindiennes la Grande Paix de Montréal en août 1701, que Frontenac a minutieusement contribué à préparer.Cette thèse de doctorat se donne pour objectif de démontrer dans quelle mesure la période des deux gouvernements de Frontenac correspond à l'apogée de la Nouvelle-France
The era of the Grand Siècle in France was the period of the ambitious development of the continental French empire in North America, in New France, around its capital, Québec City. From the very beginning of his reign, Louis XIV and his Secretary of State for the Navy, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, determinedly encouraged the expansion of the colony, providing it with solid institutions such as the edict of 1663 which made it a royal province and encouraged settlers to move in.In 1672, the king named Louis de Buade, Count of Frontenac and Palluau (1622-1698), “governor and lieutenant-general for the king” in New France. This gentleman, born in 1622 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye where his father and grandfather were governors of the castle, belonged to an ancient family of the nobility of the sword. In his youth, Frontenac frequently fought in the king's armies. His entire public life, in addition to being that of an important administrator of the king, is also a reflection of the social evolution of the French nobility of the sword faced with the challenges of the century of Louis XIV.The role of Governor Frontenac in North America was to strengthen the French presence, particularly threatened by the English and weakened by demographic deficit. He also had to control the fur trade and establish even closer relations with the Native Americans while maintaining the peace with them. However, in 1682, after ten years in Québec City, his authoritarian behavior, and especially his problems with the other administrators of New France, namely the intendant Jacques Duchesneau as well with the religious authorities, provoked his recall to France.And yet, seven years later, in 1689, Frontenac was appointed governor of New France by the king for the second time and returned to North America in the context of the Nine Years' war. Despite limited resources granted by the French homeland, he managed to victoriously repel "by the mouth of his cannons and muskets" a major English attack led by General Phips on Québec City in the fall of 1690, a victory which made him go down in history. His second term was then largely devoted to creating the conditions for a lasting peace with the Iroquois. Frontenac finally died in 1698 in Québec City. It was during that period that New France reached its greatest territorial expansion when the Great Peace of Montréal was signed with thirty-nine Amerindian nations in August 1701, an agreement Frontenac had carefully helped to prepare.This doctoral thesis aims to demonstrate that New France reached its heyday during the time Frontenac was governor of Canada

Abstract:
Cette thèse cherche à montrer comment au Vietnam, l’architecture et l’urbanisme relèvent de la rencontre de deux cultures, celle du colonisateur et celle du colonisé. L’enjeu est de mettre en lumière la diversité des échanges culturels – expressions et significations – à travers le bâti, en procédant à une étude critique de l’idée selon laquelle l’architecture et l’urbanisme seraient uniquement des instruments du pouvoir colonial. Nous avons cherché à identifier les conditions de production et d’utilisation du bâti pour appréhender la complexité et la diversité des phénomènes à l’œuvre. Nous avons privilégié trois approches. La première concerne l’étude des acteurs et de la circulation des savoirs qui nous permet d’envisager les différents discours et théories qui ont existé autour de l’architecture métissée, ainsi que leur réception. La seconde prend en considération les politiques de gestion de l’espace urbain en s’attachant à mettre en valeur les négociations et les résistances au projet d’encadrement colonial. Enfin le troisième volet se place au niveau de l’articulation des enjeux techniques et sociaux et permet de mettre au jour les mécanismes constitutifs de cette architecture interculturelle
This dissertation aims to demonstrate how the history of architecture and town planning in Vietnam became enmeshed in the encounter of two cultures: that of the colonized and that of the colonizer. The goal is to first examine the diversity of cultural exchanges – both their manifestations and meanings – through the built environment, and then provide a critique of the idea equating architecture and colonial power. In order to consider the diversity and the complexity of the phenomenon at work, this dissertation identifies the conditions of production and use of the built environment. This study privileges three approaches. The first considers the actors and the circulation of knowledge so as to explore the construction and the reception of the different discourses and theories that enveloped hybrid architecture. The second approach takes into account the politics of administrating urban space by emphasizing the negotiations and the resistance to the colonial project of construction and enclosure. Finally the third part analyzes the articulations between social and technical issues, which reveal the mechanisms constitutive of this intercultural architecture

Abstract:
In this disciplined configurative case-study the effects of imperialistic rule  on the democratization of the colonies Ghana (Gold Coast) and Senegal during their colonization. The positive effects of imperialism will be represented by the liberal thinker J.S. Mill. To measure the positive outcome have this study created a model of analysis in which the operationalization of Mill’s arguments will be represented. The indicators will be applied to the history of Senegal and Ghana, from acquisition of the territory to their independence. What this study found was that both Senegal and Ghana had experienced a democratization process, but with the Ghahanian democratization being more inclusive and more encompassing. This was due to the British allowing self-governance while the French only allowed democracy in the Four Communes.

Abstract:
Abstract: In 1936, immediately after the Italian conquest of the Ethiopian territories, the Fascist government initiated a competition to prepare the plan of Addis Ababa. Shortly, the new capital of the Italian empire in East Africa became the center of the Fascist debate on colonial planning and the core of the architectural discussion on the design for the control of African people. Taking into consideration the proposal for Addis Ababa designed by Le Corbusier, this paper reveals his perception of Europe’s role of supremacy in the colonial history of the 1930s. Le Corbusier admired the achievements of European colonialism in North Africa, especially the work of Prost and Lyautey, and appreciated the results of French domination in the continent. As architect and planner, he shared the Eurocentric assumption that considered overseas colonies as natural extension of European countries, and believed that the separation of indigenous and European quarters led to a more efficient control of the colonial city. In Addis Ababa he worked within the limit of the Italian colonial framework and, in the urgencies of the construction of the Fascist colonial empire, he participated in the coercive construction of imperial identities.
