How to Achieve Defence Cooperation in Europe?
This timely analysis of security in Europe identifies the factors that enable and hinder the creation of networks of defence cooperation across the continent.
Going beyond regional arrangements established by NATO and the European Union, this book considers the subregional level by focusing on bilateral and minilateral defence collaborations. It provides a new conceptual framework to assess the rationales, leadership and the complex dynamics within these alliances, and highlights how they shape and interact with NATO and EU initiatives.
"A historically relevant monograph that reappraises sub-regional defence cooperation in Europe with contextual nuance and theoretical sophistication. In helping to make sense of new defence realities, it will be invaluable for both scholars and practitioners." Xymena Kurowska, Central European University
