Acknowledgements
This book is the result of our shared interest in the restructuring and
adaptation of European security institutions. As with all collaborative
projects, this volume would not have been possible without the assis-
tance of many organizations and individuals. We are more than grateful
to acknowledge the generous support of the UBC Institute for European
Studies (IES), the UBC Centre for International Relations, the UBC
Department of Political Science, the German Academic Exchange Service
(DAAD) as well as the British Council and the Consulate General of France
in Vancouver.
Many individuals have offered input on various drafts of the chapters.
In particular, we wish to thank Eric Remacle and Frédéric Charillon for
their insights. Both the Director of the Institute for European Studies,
Sima Godfrey, and the Director of the Centre for International Relations,
Brian Job, provided support and helped to navigate the editors through
the publication process. Michael Eddy andJason R. Young, both graduate
students from the IES Masters programme, and Rob Stoddard, Assistant
to the IES Director, were helpful in bringing the style into line with the
publishers’ requirements. Ryan Cross assisted in preparing the bibliogra-
phy. Most of all, however, we are grateful to our authors, who were
always supportive in bringing this project to a successful end.
