TL;DR: In this paper, the essence of a sound foreign policy is the intelligent anticipation of change, as Gough Whitlam nicely used to put it, then to what kind of changes should we now be responding, and in what way?
Abstract: My focus tonight is on change and priorities. It is a commonplace to say that the world is changing, and that Australia must adjust to those changes. But we do not pause as often as we should to scrutinize just how, from our perspective, the world is changing; nor do we consider, as often or as carefully as we should, how our foreign policy might seek not only to react to, but to influence, those changes. If the essence of a sound foreign policy is the intelligent anticipation of change, as Gough Whitlam nicely used to put it, then to what kind of changes should we now be responding, and in what way? It is these large questions that I want to address tonight.

TL;DR: This article argued that many of France's actions in Africa are essentially neo-colonial in so far as they are designed to perpetuate the prevailing pattern of dominance and that France also suffers from an almost excessive dependence on African sources for the supply of cheap minerals essential to her economy and national defence.
Abstract: France continues to wield considerable power and influence in Africa three decades after her former colonies achieved their independence. Based on a variety of socio-economic, political, and cultural interests, many of her actions in Africa are essentially neo-colonial in so far as they are designed to perpetuate the prevailing pattern of dominance.1 Yet, France also suffers from an almost excessive dependence on African sources for the supply of cheap minerals essential to her economy and national defence.
