As a result of new strategic threats, Europe's land forces are
currently undergoing a historic transformation which may reflect
wider processes of European integration. Europe's mass, mainly
conscript armies are being replaced by smaller, more capable,
professionalised militaries concentrated into new operational
headquarters and rapid reaction brigades, able to plan, command,
and execute global military interventions. At the same time, these
headquarters and brigades are co-operating with each other across
national borders at a level which would have been inconceivable in
the twentieth century. As a result, a transnational military
network is appearing in Europe, the forces in which are converging
on common forms of military expertise. This book is a
groundbreaking study of the military dimensions of European
integration, which have been largely ignored until now. It will
appeal to scholars across the social sciences interested in the
progress of the European project, and the nature of the military
today.
