HIS VOLUME FOLLOWS ON FROM OUR EARLIER PROJECT ON The
Future of Transatlantic Relations (Stanford: Stanford University
Press, 2011) and examines the burgeoning area of national security. Over the
last decade or so, this area of public policy has received far greater prominence
as policy-makers, think-tanks, and the academic community have sought to re-
define security and consider new ways of providing for national security. The
thirteen case studies contained within this volume individually and collectively
provide a fascinating insight into the national security process and help show
how factors such as culture, geography, and history play major parts in the
policy process. Involving country experts has proven to be an extremely fruit-
ful advantage in helping us to understand where individual states were coming
from and often where they also aspired to head toward. For us, the comparative
analysis provided insights that we were not expecting, particularly similarities
between states that we had not seen as obvious comparators.
The editors would like to thank all the contributors to this volume for their
willingness to draft and revisit each of their chapters, meet deadlines, and
provide input in producing what we believe is an edited collection that pro-
vides some real insights. We would also like to thank Geoffrey Burn and his
team at Stanford University Press. Their professionalism has meant that we
have found, once again, their support and advice invaluable and the process of
bringing an edited collection together relatively trouble-free.
