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. James Sperling is
Professor of Political Science at the University of Akron, Ohio,
USA. Jan Hallenberg is Professor of Political Science at the
Department of Security and Strategic Studies, Swedish National
Defence College. Charlotte Wagnsson is Assistant Professor in the
Department of Strategic and Security Studies at the Swedish
National Defence College.
