Opis

This comprehensive book offers a theoretically founded and thoroughly documented analysis of European security, with a special emphasis on the role played by the United Nations and the various regional and sub-regional organisations, especially the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Council of Europe and the European Union. It will be required reading for all students and scholars of European security and the organisations which underpin it.

Recenzje

’Offers an insightful and detailed analysis of the role of European regional organisations in promoting and maintaining security within and beyond Europe, including an in-depth overview of the constitutive concepts of security, organisations and regions. An excellent exploration of the underlying reasons for European success in regional security building and a "must read" for scholars and students of European security studies.’ Maxi Schoeman, University of Pretoria, South Africa 'What has been lacking is a volume that takes a comprehensive and critical view on how the various regional organizations that make up the European security architecture contributed to turning this war-torn region into a tightly coupled security community in less than 50 years. It is this gap that Møller sets out to fill, a task in which he succeeds admirably...' International Affairs
