Title first published in 2003. Conflict and Security in the Former
Soviet Union examines the Organization for Security and
Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)'s approach to post-Cold War tensions
and conflicts in the former Soviet area, the extent to which the
new procedures, mechanisms and instruments developed by the
organization are useful, and how the OSCE's activities may reveal
innovative contributions to conflict studies.

This book offers a reality check of U.S. global power.The essays in
this volume argue that the Bush Doctrine, as outlined in the
September 2002 National Security Strategy of the United States,
squandered enormous military and economic resources, diminished
American power, and undermined America's moral reputation as a
defender of democratic values and human rights. The Bush Doctrine
misguidedly assumed that the United States was a superpower, a
unique unipolar power that could compel others to accede to its
preferences for world order. In reality the United States is a
formidable but besieged global power, one of a handful of nations
that could influence but certainly not dictate world events. The
flawed doctrine has led to failed policies that extend America's
reach beyond its grasp, most painfully evident in the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan.Leading scholars and policy analysts from nine
countries assess the impact of the Bush Doctrine on world order,
explain how the United States reached its current low standing
internationally, and propose ways that the country can repair the
untold damage wrought by ill-conceived and incompetently executed
security and foreign policies. The contributors focus on the
principal regions of the world where they have expertise: Asia,
Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Russia.The
contributors agree that future security and foreign policies must
be informed by the limitations of U.S. economic, cultural, and
military power to shape world order to reflect American interests
and values. American power and influence will increase only when
the United States binds itself to moral norms, legal strictures,
and political accords in cooperation with other like-minded states
and peoples.
This book contributes to the literature on the EU's role in the
international system by engaging with the debates on global
actorness and mapping new conceptual and theoretical avenues to
better understand how agency and power are exerted at the global
and regional levels, in a context of increased contestation of the
international liberal order. Organised around three main lines, the
book first looks at how the EU positions itself internationally in
different policy areas, providing a multi-dimensional reading of EU
policies, instruments, and practices; secondly, it engages with the
EU's own perspective toward its regional contexts and with the
perspectives of regional actors on the EU; and, thirdly, it
explores non-European perspectives on EU actorness, as the way the
EU is perceived by others in this system of contested leadership is
central to how it is understood in terms of policies, instruments,
and overall capability to lead and act as a global power.
