ABSTRACT Opération Amérique refers to the coordinated efforts of René Lévesque’s Parti Québécois government beginning late 1970s to promote Québec’s interests in the United States. The general goals and strategies of Opération Amérique suggest that it presents a case of soft power. However, the specific actions implemented as well as their effects have barely been explored. An analysis of original documents pertaining to Opération Amérique indicates that specific groups in the United States—namely, French professors—were targeted with the hope that they would improve perceptions of Québec in the United States. An examination of French textbooks used in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s shows an increase in Canada/Québec content, which may reflect the influence of Opération Amérique on French teaching practices.

Opération Amérique：魁北克软实力在美国法语教学中的应用

摘要 美国行动指的是勒内·莱维斯克 (René Lévesque) 的魁北克党政府从 1970 年代后期开始为促进魁北克在美国的利益而进行的协调努力。美国行动的总体目标和战略表明，它展示了一个软实力案例。然而，几乎没有探讨实施的具体行动及其影响。对与美国行动有关的原始文件的分析表明，美国的特定群体——即法国教授——成为目标，希望他们能改善美国对魁北克的看法。对 1970 年代和 1980 年代在美国使用的法语教科书的检查表明，加拿大/魁北克的内容有所增加，这可能反映了美国行动对法语教学实践的影响。
