The end of the Cold War demonstrated the historical possibility of
peaceful change and seemingly showed the superiority of non-realist
approaches in International Relations. Yet in the post-Cold War
period many European countries have experienced a resurgence of a
distinctively realist tradition: geopolitics. Geopolitics is an
approach which emphasizes the relationship between politics and
power on the one hand; and territory, location and environment on
the other. This comparative study shows how the revival of
geopolitics came not despite, but because of, the end of the Cold
War. Disoriented in their self-understandings and conception of
external roles by the events of 1989, many European foreign policy
actors used the determinism of geopolitical thought to find their
place in world politics quickly. The book develops a constructivist
methodology to study causal mechanisms and its comparative approach
allows for a broad assessment of some of the fundamental dynamics
of European security.
