尼古拉斯·萨科奇的竞选文件和演讲更多地揭示了与过去法国外交政策的连续性，而不是破裂。美国将欢迎他对导弹防御系统的支持，以及在联合国之外可能采取的单边行动。然而，与前几任法国总统一样，萨科齐赞扬多极化和独立的欧盟军事能力，同时反对北约发挥全球作用。他呼吁保护免受全球化的负面影响，并促进欧盟范围内的工业“冠军”。“他以文化和反恐为由反对土耳其加入欧盟。相反，他提议建立一个新的地中海联盟。国内的反移民政策，加上对法国殖民主义的不道歉的观点，使萨科齐不太可能重振欧盟的地中海倡议，以及法国在北非日益衰落的领导地位。
Nicholas Sarkozy's campaign documents and speeches reveal more continuity than rupture with past French foreign policy. The US will welcome his support for missile defense and possible unilateral action outside of the UN. However, like previous French presidents, Sarkozy extolled multipolarity and independent European Union military capacity while opposing a global role for NATO. He called for protection against the negative impacts of globalization and promoted EU‐wide industrial "champions." He opposed Turkey's entry into the EU on cultural and antiterrorist grounds. Instead, he proposed to create a new Mediterranean Union. Anti‐immigrant policies at home combined with an unapologetic view of French colonialism make it unlikely that Sarkozy will be able to revive the EU's Mediterranean initiative and with it France's fading leadership in North Africa.
