This book focuses on the problems of, and prospects for,
strengthening the global system of security governance in a manner
consistent with the aspirations and practices of the EU. The EU
approach to security governance has been successful in its
immediate neighbourhood: it has successfully exported its preferred
norms and principles to applicant countries, thereby 'pacifying'
its immediate neighbourhood and making all of Europe more secure.
The EU governance orientation ultimately seeks to enlarge the
European security community and expand the geopolitical area within
which armed conflicts are inconceivable, and where state and
private actors converge around a set of norms and rules of
behaviour and engagement.
The EU's success along its immediate boundaries has not yet been
replicated on a global scale; it remains an open question whether
the EU system of governance can be exported globally, owing to
different normative structures (for example, a tolerance of armed
conflict or non-democratic governance internally), great-power
competition (such as US--China), or ongoing processes of
securitization that has made it difficult to find a commonly
accepted definition of security. Moreover, the EU system of
security governance clashes with the continuing unwillingness of
other major powers to cede or pool sovereignty as well as varying
preferences for unilateral as opposed to multilateral forms of
statecraft. This edited volume addresses both the practical and
political aspects of security governance and the barriers to the
globalization of the EU system of security governance, particularly
in the multipolar post-Cold War era.
This book will be of great interest to students of security
governance, EU politics, European Security and IR in general.
