Historical themes have long been prominent in the rhetoric and reality of Franco-British relations. Britain and France have been at peace for more than two centuries. Yet official and public discourse in both countries is saturated with backward-looking references to past national glory and 'natural' rivalry. The recent EU referendum in the UK is a case in point. Surprisingly, there is no systematic study of the role of representations of the past in Franco-British relations. To what extent have such representations shaped the conceptual horizons of policy-makers? What role have preoccupations with the present and the future played in the way the past has been used in policy debates? Has a preoccupation with history undermined co-operation between these two key European states?The proposed research addresses these questions in the first detailed archival investigation of the 'weight of the past' in Franco-British relations. We will engage systematically with current and former policy practitioners and civil society (third sector) stakeholders to draw on their expertise and disseminate our research findings widely in government and public spheres.The investigators will deploy an innovative research strategy based on new approaches in international history, historical culture and memory studies. The research will draw on richly varied archival and published sources in France and the UK. To maximise the breadth and depth of the research, we will work with leading international scholars who will attend project events and contribute their research to our final Project Conference. Proceedings will be published as a special issue of Diplomacy & Statecraft. The Investigators will co-author a research monograph ('The Weight of the Past in Franco-British Relations since 1815'), publish seven articles in leading peer-reviewed journals and give multiple conference papers. The result will be a substantial body of published work providing new perspectives on Franco-British relations and offering a new methodological template for studying the history of international relations.The Project's Research and Impact Strategies are mutually reinforcing. They will maximise impact by linking it closely to research, while ensuring that research is informed at every stage by practitioner expertise. This will be achieved in cooperation with Project Partners including the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), the UK Embassy, Paris, the UK Ministry of Defence and the Franco-British Council. Other Collaborators include the French Defence Ministry, the French Embassy, London, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and The National Archives (TNA).A suite of Project Events will bring together the researchers, current and former policy-makers and members of key civil society associations to discuss our research and refine strategies for impact. These are a Witness Seminar (RUSI), a Policy Engagement Colloquium (UK Embassy, Paris), a Research Workshop (Glasgow), a plenary panel at the Franco-British Council's Annual Conference on Defence and Security Cooperation, a Public Exhibition (TNA) and the Project Conference (Maison Française, Oxford).The Investigators are uniquely placed to deliver the project aims. PI Jackson has published widely in the field of European international relations, including two widely-cited essays on theory and method in international history, and has worked extensively with policy practitioners and the media in France and the UK. Co-I Pastor-Castro specialises in Franco-British relations and has worked with the FCO to deliver a range of academic and impact goals. Co-I Utley has written extensively on French defence policy and has worked with the UK MoD, the French Embassy in London, NC3A (NATO) and the EU. Expert guidance on the project's management will be provided by an Advisory Group comprising vastly-experienced current and former policy-makers, members of civil society and academic researchers.

历史主题长期以来在法英关系的修辞和现实中占据突出地位。英国和法国已经和平相处了两个多世纪。然而，两国的官方和公共话语都充斥着对过去国家荣耀和“自然”竞争的回顾。英国最近的脱欧公投就是一个很好的例子。令人惊讶的是，没有系统的研究的作用，过去的表征在法英关系。这种表述在多大程度上塑造了决策者的概念视野？对现在和未来的关注在政策辩论中使用过去的方式中发挥了什么作用？对历史的关注是否破坏了这两个关键欧洲国家之间的合作？拟议的研究解决了这些问题，在第一次详细的档案调查的“过去的重量”在法英关系。我们将系统地与现任和前任政策实践者和民间社会（第三部门）利益相关者进行接触，利用他们的专业知识，在政府和公共领域广泛传播我们的研究成果。研究人员将根据国际历史，历史文化和记忆研究的新方法部署创新的研究战略。这项研究将利用法国和英国丰富多样的档案和出版物。为了最大限度地提高研究的广度和深度，我们将与国际领先的学者合作，他们将参加项目活动，并将他们的研究贡献给我们的最终项目会议。会议记录将作为《外交与治国术》特刊出版。研究人员将共同撰写一本研究专著（“1815年以来法英关系中过去的重量”），在领先的同行评审期刊上发表七篇文章，并发表多篇会议论文。其结果将是大量出版的著作，为研究法英关系提供新的视角，并为研究国际关系史提供新的方法模板。该项目的研究和影响战略相辅相成。他们将通过将其与研究紧密联系来最大限度地发挥影响，同时确保研究在每个阶段都得到从业者专业知识的指导。这将实现与项目合作伙伴，包括皇家联合服务研究所（入寺），英国大使馆，巴黎，英国国防部和法英理事会。其他合作者包括法国国防部，法国大使馆，伦敦，英国外交和联邦事务部和国家档案馆（TNA）。一套项目活动将汇集研究人员，现任和前任政策制定者和主要民间社会协会的成员，讨论我们的研究和完善影响战略。这些都是证人研讨会（入寺），政策参与座谈会（英国大使馆，巴黎），一个研究讲习班（格拉斯哥），在法英理事会的国防和安全合作年度会议全体小组，一个公共展览（TNA）和项目会议（Maison Française，牛津）.调查员是独一无二的，以提供项目的目标. PI杰克逊在欧洲国际关系领域发表了大量文章，包括两篇关于国际历史理论和方法的论文，并与法国和英国的政策实践者和媒体进行了广泛的合作。Co-I Pastor-Castro专门研究法英关系，并与FCO合作，实现了一系列学术和影响目标。Co-I乌特利撰写了大量关于法国国防政策的文章，并与英国国防部、法国驻伦敦大使馆、NC 3A（北约）和欧盟合作。由经验丰富的现任和前任决策者、民间社会成员和学术研究人员组成的咨询小组将为项目管理提供专家指导。
