Oswald argues that European security autonomy will lead to a more
balanced transatlantic partnership, even though American military
might will remain far superior. As U.S. leaders indicate a
willingness to disengage from their former European protectorate,
the Europeanization of Europe's own security needs-their ability to
take care of their own crises-will proceed apace. An understanding
of this process is key to an American foreign policy that
recognizes Europe as a strategic actor in its own right, an
indispensable ally with its own military and nonmilitary
instruments of crisis management. At the end of the Cold War with
the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and the postcommunist
transformation of Central and Eastern Europe, the U.S.-led NATO
alliance found itself without its erstwhile primary enemy. While
NATO found new purpose as guarantor of stability for an increasing
membership and crisis manager in Southeast Europe, the alliance's
expansion also advanced its transformation from a collective
defense organization into a security community. While NATO was
redefining itself, the European Union created the institutional and
political prerequisites for a European security and defense policy.
In his analysis of Europe's emancipation from security dependence
on the United States, Oswald expects the economic strength of the
European bloc to translate into responsibility for regional
security. Yet this is not to say that the EU is emerging as the
primary challenger to U.S. hegemony. Instead, Oswald argues,
European security autonomy will lead to a more balanced
transatlantic partnership, even though American military might will
remain far superior. As U.S. leaders indicate a willingness to
disengage from their former European protectorate, the
Europeanization of Europe's own security needs-their ability to
take care of their own crises-will proceed apace. An understanding
of this process is key to an American foreign policy that
recognizes Europe as a strategic actor in its own right, an
indispensable ally with its own military and nonmilitary
instruments of crisis management.
