Un sens à l'Europe
Gros sous et réforme constitutionnelle : tels sont les points souvent évoqués pour convaincre les peuples européens d’accepter les programmes d’élargissement et l’Union économique et monétaire. Sur le sens même de l’intégration, dirigeants et citoyens partagent beaucoup d’incertitudes. Et pourtant. Dès la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, gagner la paix était un projet clair. Trois principes d’action ont guidé la démarche des fondateurs : un principe de réconciliation, un principe d’action concertée, un principe de reconnaissance de l’autre, qui se sont incarnés dans de nouveaux modes d’organisation politique, économique et sociale. N’est-ce pas ce « tr...
The Evolution of International Security Studies
The first intellectual history of International Security Studies since 1945, providing an unparalleled survey for students and scholars.
European Citizenship--in the Process of Construction
European citizenship is still a contested concept, bringing together two notions and therefore two different debates: one around Europe and European identity, And The other related to citizenship and non-citizenship. Europe, In an ongoing process of construction, should be shaped and defined by its citizens. Young people in particular have a special interest in and concern about what kind of Europe they want to live in. it is therefore important to reflect on how European citizenship and debates around European identity could help and empower young people to actively contribute to building Europe. The essays collected here address this issue. They present the debates and findings of the research seminar entitled "Young People and Active European Citizenship" organised by the Youth Partnership between the Council of Europe And The European Commission. European citizenship remains one of the main priorities of this partnership.
Understanding the Bush Doctrine
In this volume, leading scholars of U.S. foreign policy, international relations, and political psychology examine one of the most consequential and controversial statements of national security policy in contemporary American history. Unlike other books which focus only on unilateralism or preventive war, Stanley A. Renshon and Peter Suedfeld provide a comprehensive framework with which to analyze the Bush Doctrine by identifying five central and interrelated elements of the doctrine: American pre-eminence assertive realism equivocal alliances selective multilateralism democratic transformation. Given its centrality to American national security, and the fact that the effects of it are likely to be felt well into the twenty-first century, Understanding the Bush Doctrine provides a critically balanced and pointed assessment of the Bush Doctrine and its premises, as well as a fair appraisal of its implications and prospects.
Arms Control
In January, 1990, the Mosher Institute conducted its second annual arms control and disarmament symposium in Houston, Texas. Representatives from the Soviet Union, Eastern and Western Europe, neutral and nonaligned nations, the United States, and the Third World attended. Speakers and commentators included senior members of the U.S. and Soviet armed forces, members of negotiating delegations, and experts from industry and academe. The proceedings of this symposium, Arms Control: Problems and Prospects, 1990, are the tape recordings, edited only to ensure clarity, of the six sessions: "Trends in Military Doctrine: Implications for Future Security Relationships in Europe"; "Negotiations on Str...
The Price of Peace
Lively political and public debates on war and morality have been a feature of the post-Cold War world. The Price of Peace argues that a re-examination of the just war tradition is therefore required. The authors suggest that despite fluctuations and transformations in international politics, the just war tradition continues to be relevant. However they argue that it needs to be reworked to respond to the new challenges to international security represented by the end of the Cold War and the impact of terrorism. With an interdisciplinary and transatlantic approach, this volume provides a dialogue between theological, political, military and public actors. By articulating what a reconstituted just war tradition might mean in practice, it also aims to assist policy-makers and citizens in dealing with the ethical dilemmas of war.
Nuclear Superiority
In 2002 the Bush administration completed a Nuclear Posture Review that introduced a ‘new triad’ based on offensive-strike systems, defences and a revitalized defence infrastructure. The new triad is designed for a new strategic threat environment, characterized not by a long-standing nuclear rivalry with another superpower, but by unstable relationships with rogue-state proliferators, alongside more ambiguous relations with nuclear-weapon powers. Providing a historical context to these modifications to US nuclear strategy, Nuclear Superiority details how the new triad, which strongly emphasizes the need to bolster the credibility of the nuclear deterrent and to prepare for nuclear use w...
