“…Moreover, the actors that belonged to these two programmatic cliques acted less according to a specific logic of action to defend the sovereignist or liberal programme of public action than according to several kinds of logic of action, which need to be described (Faure, 2019; Rayroux, 2017; see Table 4). The logic of consequences points to interests and strategies as the determining factors in a programme of public action (Woll & Jacquot, 2010), while the logic of appropriateness corresponds to the effect of ideas, norms, and social representation (Mérand, 2008).…”

This article contributes to the development of the Programmatic Action Framework (PAF) based on the case study of the procurement of the French Rafale fighter jet rather than the American F‐18 by the French government in the 1980s. This decision making dilemma is explained by revealing the competition between two “programmatic cliques.” The “sovereignist” programmatic clique that defends the French option embodies the Custodians of the nation state. The “liberal” programmatic clique that supports the American alternative represents the Austerians of the nation state. The defeat of the Austerians of the French nation warfare state is explained by the ties weakness available to the liberal programmatic clique at the political level of decision making. To this end, 89 semi‐structured interviews were conducted with the political‐military and industrial arms actors.

The main question surrounding the re-election of Macron is the uncertain balance of France’s flexilateral policy vis-à-vis the EU in a post-Brexit and COVID-19 context: Strengthening European integration by changing France’s practice towards the EU or taking an inter-governmentalist turn by using – in a very classical way – Europe as an “Archimedes’ lever” to defend national interests.
