Routledge studies in European security and strategy
Content:
"This volume offers a coherent analysis of the European Union's security strategies within a comparative framework. If the EU is to survive and prosper as an effective security actor, it requires that greater attention be devoted to striking a cohesive and common position on the relationship between EU foreign policy means and goals. The major claim of this edited collection is that there is a European grand security strategy that disciplines member state security strategies. That grand strategy has two distinct substantive goals: the preservation and expansion of the EU system of security governance and the implementation of specific strategies to meet internal and external threats and sources of insecurity. The EU has sought to develop a grand security strategy that not only accounts for the proliferation of threats possessing a military or non-military character and differentiates between core and peripheral regions of interest, but also addresses the requirements for bridging the increasingly blurred boundary between internal and external security threats and the necessary reconciliation of the competing security preferences of its member states. The empirical contributions to this volume, which examine EU security strategies for specific issue-areas and regional threat complexes, demonstrate that EU policies have shaped national policies and has as its primary objective the preservation and expansion of the EU system of security governance. The volume integrates a 'new' EU security strategy into the analysis to determine whether and to what extent it reinforces the successes or overcomes the limitations of the current set of security strategies governing the EU and its member states"--
