European Security: An Introduction to Theory and Practice

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.
