“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 diffi-
cult for students to grasp and that seems impossible to squeeze into a textbook. Nevertheless,
Galbreath, Mawdsley, and Chappell 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 twenty-first 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

Contemporary European Security
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.
Presenting traditional and critical debates to illuminate this ever-changing field, it
addresses specifically:
• European security since 2000 and the end of the Cold War.
• The evolution of International Relations theories in understanding security in Europe.
• The role of NATO in the post-war period and its strategy, impact and enlargement.
• The institutionalisation of the CSCE and the political tensions within the OSCE.
• The EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy and recent policy initiatives in defence.
• Feminist conceptions of European security.
• European military innovation.
• Security challenges in the post-Soviet space and the growing instability in the Middle
East and North Africa.
• The emergence of human security.
• Internal and societal security.
This essential textbook will be of key interest to students and scholars of European Security,
Security and Military studies, Strategic Studies, European Politics and International Relations.
