This book examines how internal and external security are blurring
at the EU level, and the implications this has for EU security
governance and the EU as a security actor. The EU claims that
'internal and external security are inseparable' and requires a
more integrated approach. This book critically assesses this claim
in relation to the threats facing the EU, its responses to them,
and the practical and normative implications for EU security
governance and actorness. It sets out a novel conceptual framework
- the EU security continuum - to examine the ways and extent to
which internal and external security are blurring along three axes:
geographic, bureaucratic, and functional. This is done through an
analysis of four key security issues, regional conflict, terrorism,
organised crime, and cybersecurity. The book demonstrates that, to
varying degrees, these security threats and/or responses do
transcend boundaries. However, institutional turf wars and
capability silos hamper the EU's integrated approach and,
therefore, its management of transboundary security threats. Yet,
the EU's pursuit of an integrated approach is reframing its claimed
normative distinctiveness toward a more practical one, based on a
transnational and multidimensional approach. Such a rearticulation,
if implemented, would make the EU a genuinely transboundary
security actor, properly structured and equipped to tackle the 21st
century's internal-external security continuum. This book will be
of much interest to students of European Security, EU politics, and
international relations.
