La défense sera un enjeu majeur du prochain quinquennat avec un effort supplémentaire à conduire pour rattraper les retards accumulés. La France doit exercer un leadership fort et ses armées auront les moyens de remplir les missions en se concentrant sur le « haut du spectre ».

Nicolas Sarkozy, outgoing President of the Republic and candidate for the presidential election, reviews his record and outlines his programme for defence of the nation.

The other great transformation in the world besides the rising power of the emerging economies has been the ever deeper penetration of the Internet in civil society and the economy. Alone among world leaders, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has sought to address the sticky issue of how to "civilize the Internet" in the G‐8, a key forum of global governance which France chairs this year. As a kind of historical document, in this section we publish Sarkozy's speech to the leading information technologists and entrepreneurs he gathered in Paris in May for the first "e‐G‐8" Summit. Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google, was among the attendees. We include his report to the 21st Century Council of the Nicolas Berggruen Institute.
