This is a much-needed account of the key theoretical and practical issues in post-Cold War European security.  Graham Timmins and James Sperling clearly explain the main dimensions of the debates on the nature and concept of security in the European context and consider in greater depth key specific components of the concept of security, such as economics, the military and society. They conclude by exploring key debates, issues and dimensions of security through a number of case studies of states and regions in, or with an interest in, the security of Europe.

Evolution

This title was first published in 2000:  A fresh and original study of EU and NATO enlargement, which sets both in a comparative context and considers them against a backdrop of the evolution of a pan-European security community. The book is divided into two parts. In part one the authors examine and discuss the EU and NATO enlargement processes and the ’incremental linkage’ which has developed between them. The major issues and challenges facing the two institutions as they ponder the next steps in enlargement are also assessed. Part two includes separate chapters on the post-Cold War evolution of the EU and NATO overall. These discussions focus on their strengths and limitations in contributing to the broader and more co-operative kind of European security which the end of the Cold War makes possible. The final chapters examine a number of possible scenarios under which the EU and NATO either succeed or fail in contributing significantly to the development of a new European security order. The potential consequences for both the institutions themselves and for European security generally will be explored and assessed.
