The European Union (EU) faces many crises and risks to its security
and existence. While few of them threaten the lives of EU citizens,
they all create a sense of anxiety and insecurity about the future
for many ordinary Europeans. This comprehensive volume explores the
concept of 'ontological security' which was introduced into
international relations over a decade ago to better understand the
'security of being' found in feelings of fear, anxiety, crisis, and
threat to wellbeing. The authors make use of this concept to
explore how narratives of European integration have been part of
public discourses in the post-war period and how reconciliation
dynamics, national biographical narratives and memory politics have
been enacted to create ontological security. Within this context,
they also discuss the anxiety of the 'remainers' in the Brexit
referendum and the consequences of its failure to address the
ontological anxieties and insecurities of remain voters. The book
also explores: how European security firms market ontological
security and provide an ontological security-inspired reading of
the EU's relations with post-communist states; the EU and NATO's
engagement with hybrid threats; and the EU as an anxious community.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
journal European Security.
