Links between Senegal and France go back more than three
centuries. Senegal was France's oldest colony in black Africa, and
the two countries have maintained the close ties developed during the
colonial period since political independence in 1960. The article argues
that decolonization in fact reinforced the ties between Senegal and
France, rather than the opposite, and that this "special relationship"
is only now changing. Senegal has recently begun to diversify its foreign
relations, both within Africa and elsewhere. President Abdoulaye Wade,
who won the 2000 presidential election and whose party now controls
the government, has sought closer relations notably with Washington but
also with London. As one of the leading promoters of the New Partnership
for African Development, Wade has also sought to build stronger links
within Africa, particularly with South Africa and Nigeria. The days of
the Franco-Senegalese "special relationship" appear to be numbered.

Ausgehend davon, daß in Frankreich die Bewegung gegen Kernenergie stärker ist als die gegen Atomwaffen, werden die Anti-Atom-Bewegungen im Vergleich zu Großbritannien in ihrem nationalen Kontext analysiert und Gründe für die jeweils unterschiedliche Bedeutung dargelegt. Die starke französische Opposition gegen Kernenergie folgt auf den nach der Ölkrise forcierten Ausbau der Kernkraftwerke und richtet sich gegen Zentralisierungstendenzen des Staates. Die Schwäche der Atomwaffengegner ist historisch begründet (Niederlage von 194O). Die Wahrnehmung des nuklearen Risikos allein reicht nicht aus für eine dauerhafte Anti-Atom-Bewegung. Die künftige Entwicklung bleibt offen. (AuD-Hng)
