- Title
"The US Embassy Has Been Particularly Sensitive about This": Diplomacy, Antiwar Protests and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs during 1968.

- Abstract
This article examines changes in how the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs handled anti-Vietnam War protests in the period immediately following the May-June 1968 uprisings. Through a study of the Quai dOrsay Asie-Océanie archives along with American Embassy and CIA documents, the article adds to research on French domestic protest activity and expands understanding of the philo-American shift in French foreign policy following May. In its emphasis on how foreign policy affected domestic experience, the article argues for the importance of situating May globally to evaluate its full impact.
