Can Russia, the European Union and the three major EU member states
adopt a unified policy line in the global arena? Charlotte Wagnsson
investigates the cohesiveness of 'greater Europe' through the
detailed scrutiny of policy statements by the leadership elites in
the UK, France, Germany, Russia and the EU in connection with three
defining events in international security: the crisis in Kosovo of
1999; the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the Iraq crisis of 2003.
This extensive empirical enquiry results in a critical
constructivist response to neorealist understandings of European
security. The book is available in paperback for the first time. It
contrasts the EU's new way of 'doing security' with the
established, competitive bilateral interplay in the European
security sphere and provides a clue to the kind of security
politics that will prevail in Europe. A joint Moscow-Brussels
approach would improve the chances of both increasing their
relative strength vis-a-vis the USA, but serious cleavages threaten
to undermine such a 'greater European' common view on security.
Wagnsson considers the extent to which the major European players
pursue similar objectives, and assesses the possible implications
for and the chances of greater Europe emerging as a cohesive global
actor. This meticulously researched book will interest scholars and
students with an interest in international security, the EU's
international role, European international relations and Russian
security. -- .
