Amongst George Bermann’s many accolades and achievements, my eye was drawn in particular to the fact that he held, in 2006, the Tocqueville-Fulbright Distinguished Professorship (University of Paris I). This honour is described on the Fulbright-France website as follows:

In 2005, the Franco-American Fulbright Commission, in partnership with the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and the US Department of State, created the Fulbright-Tocqueville Distinguished Chair Award in commemoration of Alexis de Tocqueville’s 200th birthday and Senator J. William Fulbright’s 100th birthday.

The Distinguished Chair’s objective is to create, develop, and reinforce Franco-American cooperation in the disciplines essential to French and American society and to the mutual understanding of both peoples.
