The Rise of European Security Cooperation

Viac o knihe

The book explores the heightened security cooperation among European Union states, driven by the shift from a bipolar to a unipolar international system dominated by the United States. Seth Jones argues that this collaboration in areas like economic sanctions and military production aims to enhance the EU's global power projection and reduce dependency on the US. Additionally, European leaders' adoption of a 'binding' strategy in the early 1990s reflects a commitment to long-term peace in Europe while simultaneously strengthening their international influence.
