In the 19th and 20th centuries, Spain was a key player in the military conflagrations that created modern Europe. From the Napoleonic Wars, through the dress rehearsal for World War II that was the Spanish Civil War, to the grim struggle against terrorism today, the military history of modern Spain has both shaped and reflected larger forces beyond its borders.

European countries work together in crisis management, conflict prevention and many other aspects of security and defence policy. Closer cooperation in this policy arena seems to be the only viable way forward to address contemporary security challenges. Yet, despite the repeated interaction, fundamental assumptions about security and defence remain remarkably distinct across European nations. This book offers a comparative analysis of the security and defence policies of all 27 EU member states and Turkey, drawing on the concept of ‘strategic culture’, in order to examine the chances and obstacles for closer security and defence cooperation across the continent. Along the lines of a consistent analytical framework, international experts provide case studies of the current security and defence policies in Europe as well as their historical and cultural roots.
This volume provides the first geographically and thematically comprehensive study of the evolution and current state of the national security and defence policies, strategies, doctrines, capabilities, and military operations, as well as the alliances and security partnerships, of European armed forces.

Concebido en un momento de gran auge económico y proyección internacional, pero también de cambios profundos, implicó un riesgo tecnológico desmesurado. Máxime si tenemos en cuenta la profunda crisis que atravesaba el sector de la construcción naval. Dado el contexto, las razones por las que el país se aventuró en el diseño y construcción de un submarino “íntegramente” nacional y mucho más ambicioso que los Scorpène —de los que ya se hab...
La obra repasa cronológicamente las distintas etapas de la sucesiva formación del Ministerio de Defensa, desde los difíciles años setenta hasta la actualidad. Enfoca esta crónica "desde la óptica de un militar que las ha vivido en primera persona". Analiza las vicisitudes y transformaciones orgánicas y de los sistemas de armas de cada uno de los ejércitos, analizando también los cambios vividos por los hombres y mujeres que los conforman y a las operaciones desarrolladas en esa treintena.
