by S. Duke (Author)

The New European Security Disorder presents a clear and comprehensive overview of the main actors, institutions and changes in European security since the end of the Cold War. Special emphasis is put on the assessment of threats to Europe's security, the lack of coherent leadershop in Bosnia and elsewhere, and the need for pan-European security institutions.

The New European Security Disorder is a comprehensive assessment of Europe's post-Cold War security threats, the roles of the main actors and institutions. Many challenges to Europe's security are non-military and have not been seriously addressed by Western Europe or its US ally. The institutional responses to Europe's post-Cold War security challenges from NATO, WEU, CSCE and the EC have been confused, duplicatory or non-existent. This book argues for the need for coherent collective leadership at the European level, the gradual phasing out of NATO, and the creation of a pan-European security structure.
