European Security
European governments, armed forces and other
security providers are still adjusting to a more complex security
environment. While the European continent itself is no longer a major
source of threats to international peace and stability, it is affected
by international security problems in many ways, which demand active
European involvement on a global scale, the definition of clear
strategies, and the efficient use of available means. The European
Security Programme examines the security and defence policies of
European countries and the efforts of major multilateral institutions
such as NATO and the EU designed to meet international security demands
across the traditional boundaries of internal versus external security
and civilian versus military responses.
