Description
The Revue Défense Nationale (National Defense Journal) is a publication unlike any other; it addresses political, economic, social, and scientific issues, on both a national and international level, from a defense perspective. The journal’s distinct orientation helped it to survive the Second World War and subsequent crises, challenges, and regime changes. Its longevity is due to the continued existence of a reading public in France which, despite having varied views, backgrounds, and sensibilities, shares a common interest in defense.
The Revue Défense Nationale was founded with this public in mind. Unlike many publications dealing with weaponry and military issues, it does not rely on an external company, financing body, or government institution. The journal is published by the Comité d’études de défense nationale (CEDN) (Committee of National Defense Studies), a nonprofit association that recruits its own members, elects its own board, and selects its own president. The CEDN’s president also functions as the journal’s editor-in-chief. The journal survives on its subscriptions, its advertising revenue, and its own resources, thus guaranteeing its independence.
This independence allows it to present the research of the most highly qualified authors for addressing topical issues, giving them free rein to write according to their own judgment. At the same time, it strives to feature a plurality of perspectives and to ensure that its articles are written clearly and objectively.
The Revue Défense Nationale is committed to maintaining its distinct identity and mission, while adapting to the changing needs of future generations.
Our core mission is to disseminate new ideas which, once critically assessed and refined, can form the basis for novel forms of strategic thinking.
The Revue Défense Nationale aims to be a home for innovative strategic thinking, applied first and foremost to the “Europe of defense,” and even to the defense of Europe when appropriate, while remaining open to contributions on other subjects. To achieve this, the journal seeks to reach out both to the world of education and research and to Europe, America, and Asia-Pacific.
