European Security and Transatlantic Relations after 9/11 and the Iraq War [Hardcover]

At a time of unprecedented turmoil in the transatlantic relationship, as America asserts its right to act unilaterally to defend itself against terrorism and Europeans are increasingly aggressive in promoting a multilateralist approach to security issues, this book examines the post-9/11 and Iraqi war security environment, especially the impact on NATO and transatlantic relations as the European Union seeks to build a unified foreign and defence policy that will enable Europeans to play a fuller role in the international system.List of Tables and Figures Notes on the Contributors Preface and Acknowledgements Introduction PART I: NEW RISKS AND CHALLENGES Defining the Enemy: EU and US Threat Perceptions After 9/11; S.E.Penska A Revolution in Strategy?: Conducting War in an Age of Rogues; J.W.Honig Strategic Terrorism: Threats and Risk Assessment; F.Steinh?usler Peering into the Abyss: Understanding and Combating NBC Terrorism; I.Cuthbertson The European Response to International Terrorism; G.Witschel PART II: THE TRANSATLANTIC RELATIONSHIP Transatlantic Relations after 9/11 and Iraq: Continuities and Discontinuities; R.Karp Three Fictions of Transatlantic Relations; D.Nelson European Security and Transatlantic Relations after 9/11 and the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; H.G?rtner NATO Cohesion from Afghanistan to Iraq; C.Tuschhoff PART III: EUROPEAN CRISIS MANAGEMENT AND CONFLICT PREVENTION The European 'Centaur': Power and Authority in Europe's Society of States; A.Hyde-Price The European Union and Crisis Management; K.M?tt?l?
