✦ Synopsis

What will be the future of security cooperation in Europe after the Bush Administration? The Changing Politics of European Security explores the key security challenges confronting Europe, from relations with the United States and Russia to the use of military force and the struggle against terrorism. The EU is ascendant as an instrument of security coordination in Europe, while NATO is in decline. In the future European states will increasingly act alone, independent of America, on security matters.
