Download or read book Europe s Hybrid Threats written by Giray Sadik and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybrid threats posed by various combinations of state and non-state actors have presented considerable transnational challenges to EU-members and NATO-allies. This ongoing rise of hybrid threats, ranging from political instability in Eastern Europe and the Middle East to the resulting mass refugee influx and terrorism in the European neighborhood, stress the need to timely discuss important questions about hybrid threats and the venues for effective Euro-Atlantic cooperation, including post-Brexit policy implications. This edited volume presents comprehensive analyses from various experts on these interrelated issues, and, thus, represents an essential source for scholars and practitioners of European politics and international relations with an interest in contemporary transnational security issues. In addition, this book will be useful as up-to-date coursework material for courses on European security and foreign policy, international security and strategic studies, unconventional warfare, and transatlantic relations.
Download or read book Threatening Europe written by James Ellison and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-08-22 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to concentrate on the British attempt to place the EEC within a larger Free Trade Area. It is also the first to use recently released records to examine the Foreign Office's Grand Design for political co-operation in Europe. Its main focus is Anglo-European diplomacy, yet it deals with wider international relations and the Cold War. The book therefore extends the debate by presenting a full historical analysis of Britain's response to the creation of the European Community.
Download or read book The Immigrant Threat written by Leo Lucassen and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, anti-immigrant discourse has shifted away from the color of immigrants to their religion and culture, focusing on newcomers from Muslim countries who are feared as terrorists and the products of tribal societies with values fundamentally opposed to those of secular western Europe. Leo Lucassen's The Immigrant Threat tackles the question of whether it is reasonable to believe that the integration process of these new immigrants will indeed be fundamentally different in the long run (over multiple generations) from ones experienced by similar immigrant groups in the past.

Download or read book International Terrorism written by Dieter Mahncke and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a specifically 'European response' to international terrorism? Bringing together practitioners and academic experts this volume analyses the international context, threat perceptions and multi-dimensional nature of EU counter-terrorism measures. These cover legislative and operational measures, internal and international action and cut across all areas of EU responsibility and activity. A cooperative and coordinated system of national policies and anti-terrorism capabilities has been set up. However, the EU finds it easier to agree on objectives than on implementing them effectively. Of use and interest to students of European and international politics, to academics, journalists, civil servants and the general reader alike, the book critically evaluates the efforts of the European Union to protect European citizens against terrorism and to maintain a balance between the protection of its citizens and the protection of the rights and freedoms of the individual.

Download or read book Soft Security Threats Europe written by Graeme P. Herd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new in-depth assessment of ‘soft security’ threats in Europe and Eurasia. These threats are now posed by many kinds of trafficking and are being responded to with a range of methods. Experts from around the world are brought together to provide a detailed analysis of the various aspects of trafficking, covering illegal migrants, the black market weapons trade, sex trafficking and drugs. They consider the nature of this threat facing society and the effectiveness of national and international attempts to eradicate it. An assessment of EU responses to ‘soft security’ and a case study of US Homeland Security deliver the latest developments in this key area. Is the concept of ‘soft security’ useful to analysts and policy-makers? Will they be able to manage these sources of insecurity successfully in the future? This work provides likely trends and projections to resolve these pressing questions. This book is a Special Issue of the leading journal European Security.
Download or read book Energy Security Logics in Europe written by Izabela Surwillo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes energy security dynamics in Europe through the prism of security logics. Drawing on the literature on securitization, security logics and security contexts, it scrutinizes energy security debates and policy developments in Germany, Poland and Ukraine, focusing on the pipeline politics, nuclear energy and renewables sector. The contextualized analysis accounts for the wider historical, socio-economic and cultural background from which energy policies emerge and gives a voice to the different stakeholders—from policymakers to the local NGO sector. The book sheds light on the root causes of different energy policy decisions and illustrates that European energy security is currently driven by four security logics—war, subsistence, risk and emancipation. The logic of emancipation is a newly emergent phenomenon embraced by many bottom-up citizens’ initiatives and manifested in their drive to self-reliance, the rhetoric of liberation and local practices of energy production. The conceptualization and analysis of the emancipatory logic vis-à-vis other energy security logics help to explain European energy context most effectively—with its background conditions, emerging trends and often controversial national policy approaches. This book will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, energy policy and European politics in general.

Download or read book New Threats New EU and NATO Responses written by Margriet Ellen Drent and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Europe is facing instability and conflict in the East and in the South, which together form a mixed bag of different threats. The Russian interference in Ukraine has fundamentally changed the situation at Europe's eastern borders. Putin's hybrid warfare--no open armed confrontation but covert military support and anti-Western propaganda--poses new challenges to European security. In the Middle East jihadism has been brought to extreme levels by Islamic State, acting both as a state and a non-state actor. IS is now even spreading its wings into Africa. Europe is facing dire consequences with the problems of foreign fighters, growing migration flows across the Mediterranean and increasing transborder crime. New threats require new responses from the European Union and NATO. The Alliance is very much focused on the East, reinforcing its rapidly deployable military capabilities. Less clear is how NATO, a political-military alliance, has to respond to hybrid threats, which is the most likely option for Russia to challenge the West. It seems that NATO needs more flexible responses to deal with such challenges. The EU's neighbourhood policy, both to the East and to the South, is outdated. A more robust Common Security and Defence Policy seems to be required. Covering the whole-of-government the EU is well placed to deal with hybrid threats. Yet, it remains very difficult to bring all the available instruments together in an integrated way. Finally, the new threats also raise fundamental questions about the EU-NATO relationship, which has been based on complementarity but related to crisis management operations of the past. The EU-NATO relationship urgently needs reform."--Publisher description.
