This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Cold War has been accompanied by renewed enthusiasm over the potential of security institutions in Europe. West Europeans, the US and former communist states see them as an indispensable instrument of collective security. Yet, institutions failed to prevent post-communist conflicts, most notably in Yugoslavia. For the future, there is a need for improved coordination among interlocking institutions. This study is both a critical assessment of ongoing institutional changes and an analysis of the agenda for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing perspectives from five Western capitals, this multinational study examines the formidable political and structural conditions for effective collaboration between NATO and the United Nations in performing peace-making and peacekeeping missions. The diplomatic and military requirements for operating principles of collective security in post-Cold War Europe are illuminated by contrasting the policies of major NATO governments. Candid assessments of the differing national attitudes that lie behind them are offered by an international team of scholars. Their analyses are set against the backdrop of the experience in Yugoslavia, and the momentous decisions on NATO's structural reform and enlargement.

Book Imperfect Unions

Download or read book Imperfect Unions written by Helga Haftendorn and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International institutions play important roles in political-military issues as well as in economic and environmental affairs. Indeed, it is impossible to understand efforts to resolve regional and local conflicts, or the form and pace of alliance formation and expansion, without paying attention to security institutions. Imperfect Unions discusses a wide variety of security institutions, including NATO, the Western European Union, United Nations peacekeeping, the ASEAB Regional Forum, and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe. It describes changes in security institutions, documents the effects of such institutions on national policies, and explores the conditions that affect the patterns of co-operation and discord that ensue. The book helps to improve our understanding of recent developments in international relations such as NATO enlargement and the regionalization of peacekeeping. In theoretical terms, it shows how institutionalist approaches, such as those represented in this volume, can enrich the important field of security studies.

Book Five Models for European Security

Download or read book Five Models for European Security written by Nanette C. Gantz and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the end of the bloc-to-bloc system, Europe is likely to face the renewal of many historical tensions that were temporarily suppressed in the postwar era, as well as new sources of instability. To maintain peace and stability in the future, there is a need to adopt security arrangements to respond to these challenges. This Note defines a set of alternative security models that could emerge in the next 5 to 10 years, examines the models' strengths and weaknesses, and assesses their implications for U.S. policy in Europe. Although the United States has many objectives in its policy toward Europe, the principal goal analyzed in this Note is ensuring transnational stability. The authors define transnational stability as preserving international borders and established governments against forcible change by other nations. The former Soviet Union continues to pose a threat to stability because of its formidable conventional and nuclear forces. At the same time, new threats to stability are emerging as the collapse of the Soviet empire and the erosion of the bipolar system unleash long-suppressed tensions and conflicts throughout Europe. These threats can be characterized by the likelihood and the seriousness of the threat. Judged by this standard, the residual threat from the former Soviet Union to the West is the most serious threat to stability but the least likely to occur; internal conflicts are the most likely to occur but least disruptive to stability. The five security models for addressing European security problems are as follows: (1) ad hoc alliances, (2) NATO dominant, (3) united Europe, (4) collective security, and (5) overlapping security institutions. Of the five models, the overlapping institutions model is best because it preserves a political and military role for the United States, creates alternative links for U.S. involvement in Europe beyond NATO, and shows U.S. willingness to adapt to a stronger European role in security.

Book Old Europe  New Security

Download or read book Old Europe New Security written by Mary Troy Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the US criticisms of Western European reluctance to engage in the 2004 war in Iraq stem from a perception that these governments are 'weak on defence' or unwilling to 'pull their own weight' in the international system. Secretary Rumsfeld pejoratively designated traditional Atlantic Alliance allies as 'Old Europe', to distinguish them from the freshly minted, cooperative states of 'New Europe'. In doing so, Rumsfeld accused 'Old Europe' of yet again relying on the United States to solve shared security problems. This volume critically evaluates the validity of this view of Western European choices and policies. Rather than a primary reliance on military force as first line defence, it proposes that Western European governments are expanding the set of tools they have to apply to the post-Cold War array of security and defence problems. The volume examines the emergent European security approach from multiple perspectives, in multiple institutions and identities, and in different geographic contexts.
