Contemporary European Security explores the complex European security architecture and introduces students to the empirical, theoretical and conceptual approaches to studying the subject. Written by experts in each subfield, it addresses key topics within the wider strategic context of international security.
"This is a well-designed, thoughtful, penetrating and comprehensive analysis of the nature and role of European security. The exercise is timely, given the unfolding of important changes in regional and global security. It will be an invaluable guide to students, teachers and researchers interested in the topic."
Emil J Kirchner, Emeritus Professor, University of Essex, UK
"European security has been on an incredible journey over the past 30 years. Precisely because of the fluidity and complexity, Contemporary European Security is a topic that is difficult for students to grasp and what seems impossible to squeeze into a textbook. Nevertheless, Galbreath, Chappell and Mawdsley have done just that in an excellent way. Students and teachers of European Security stand to benefit enormously."
Trine Flockhart, Professor, University of Southern Denmark
"Contemporary European Security is a comprehensive and timely volume that addresses the major issues confronting Europe and its strategic partners in the 21st Century. It ties the discussion of a wide range of security challenges to the theoretical debates in a manner that gives students of international relations an accessible look at the state of the discipline as it relates to European security."
Zachary Selden, Associate Professor, University of Florida, USA
