Product Description

This work presents an up-to-date, scholarly analysis of European crisis management during the 1990s and summarizes European experiences in the field of peacekeeping and crisis management. With the help of eight case studies, the authors explore how European governments have responded to international crises. The book also contains in-depth studies on key concepts like humanitarian intervention, military doctrine and Petersberg tasks. The contributors describe Europe's increasing responsibility for the proper functioning of international society. They point to a pronounced move to collective action and highlight Europe's political and military adaptation to the post-Cold War strategic environment. They detect an ever stronger belief in the use of military power and thereby the contours of an emerging common European identity within the field of crisis management. The book establishes an agenda for future research on European crisis management and out-of-area operations. It will be of prime interest to students of international relations, European studies, foreign policy analysis, international organization, crisis management and conflict resolution, and should also be useful for all those who need a practical survey of the latest developments in the field of international crisis management.
