"Redefining European Security "is a collection of essays concerned
with changing perspectives on peace and political stability in
Europe since the end of the Cold War, in both the "hard" security
terms of military capacity and readiness and in the realm of "soft"
security concerns of economic stability and democratic reform.
European governments, the European Union, and the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization are dealing with the fundamental problem of
determining the very parameters of Europe, politically,
economically, and institutionally. This book defines security as
the efforts undertaken by national governments and multilateral
institutions, beginning with the end of the Cold War and the
reunification of Germany, to continue to protect European
populations from acts of war and politically-motivated violence in
light of the dissolution of the imminent political threat posed to
Western Europe by the Soviet Union, 1945-1991
Together these essays assess the progress made in Europe toward
preventing conflict, as well as in ending conflict when it occurs,
after the abrupt passing of a situation in which the source and
nature of a conflict were highly predictable and the emergence of
new circumstances in which potential security threats are multiple,
variable, and difficult to measure. Contemporary Europe is a
mixture of old and new, of arrested and accelerated history.
Europe's governments and institutions have been only partly
successful in meeting new security challenges, to a high degree
because of failing unity and political will. "Yesterday, Europe
only just avoided perishing from imperial follies and frenzied
ideologies," wrote the late Raymond Aron in 1976, "she could
perishtomorrow through historical abdication."
