The Rise of European Security Cooperation

Více o knize

The book examines the notable rise in security cooperation among European Union states, driven by shifts in the international system from bipolarity to a unipolar structure dominated by the United States. Seth Jones highlights how this transformation has prompted EU countries to collaborate on economic sanctions, military production, and joint operations to enhance their global influence and reduce dependence on the US. Additionally, it discusses the 'binding' strategy adopted by European leaders in the early 1990s, aimed at ensuring long-term peace while strengthening military capabilities.
