| Sumario: | Presentación del editor: "Current world events are shattering many accepted views of national security. New views of collective security -- incorporating reform, integration, and unification -- are replacing nationalistic policies of security. How will European security be shaped in light of these changes? Adrian Hyde-Price takes up this issue, one of the most vital contemporary questions in world politics, in this intriguing volume. In his consideration of the forces and processes at work in the fundamental transformations that have been reshaping Europe over recent years, the author focuses on the unification of Germany, Mikhail Gorbachev's reform program, the accelerating pace of West European integration through the European Community, and the uncertainties surrounding America's future role in a Europe "beyond containment." This major work outlines four types of possible alternative security structures for the year 2010 and suggests a number of principles which should govern the construction of a new security system for a Europe beyond the cold war. A collection of up-to-date information and detailed analysis, this farsighted and pioneering volume is valuable reading for scholars and practitioners in political science, international relations, and European studies. "...(this book) represents serious thinking and should be able to assist most readers in getting if not a hold then a finger on the unfolding situation. . . .it is a solid work. . . .nowhere else is all that information collected and presented systematically. . . .a solid historical presentation of especially the second half of the 1980s..." --International Affairs "The most impressive characteristic of the book is the way in which it manages to cover an immense amount of empirical and theoretical ground in a fashion which is very easy to read. The style is straight forward without being mechanical. . . .it reduces to a manageable level the great complexity of European security today in a manner which strongly recommends the book to all." --West European Politics." |
