Publisher's Synopsis
This book examines security as experienced by commentators from Central, Eastern and Western Europe and the ways in which these experiences can be assimilated by the governments and international organizations of post-Cold War Europe. - - It is argued that the European psyche still harbours far too many contradictory urges for it to be at peace with itself. New Forms of Security explains what it means to be a ?European? by focusing on our fears for our collective future and our proposals to improve it. - - The contributors to this volume come from a wide range of countries and cultures and are all distinguished scholars in their won fields of specialization.
