The Nile on eBay The Rise of European Security Cooperation by Seth G. Jones One of the most striking developments in international politics today is the significant increase in security cooperation among European Union states. Seth Jones argues that this increase in cooperation, in areas such as economic sanctions, weapons production and collaboration among military forces, has occurred because of the changing structure of the international and regional systems. Since the end of the Cold War, the international system has shifted from a bipolar to a unipolar structure characterized by United States dominance. This has caused EU states to cooperate in the security realm to increase their ability to project power abroad and to decrease reliance on the US. Furthermore, European leaders in the early 1990s adopted a 'binding' strategy to ensure long-term peace on the continent, suggesting that security cooperation is caused by a desire to preserve peace in Europe whilst building power abroad.

Seth Jones argues that this increase in cooperation, in areas such as economic sanctions, weapons production and collaboration among military forces, has occurred because of the changing structure of the international and regional systems. Since the end of the Cold War, the international system has shifted from a bipolar to a unipolar structure characterized by United States dominance. This has caused EU states to cooperate in the security realm to increase their ability to project power abroad and to decrease reliance on the US. Furthermore, European leaders in the early 1990s adopted a 'binding' strategy to ensure long-term peace on the continent, suggesting that security cooperation is caused by a desire to preserve peace in Europe whilst building power abroad. Notes Through a systematic and comprehensive analysis of European security cooperation from World War II to the present day, this book examines the significant rise in cooperation among European states since the end of the Cold War. Exploring the changes and shifts in the structure of international politics, Seth Jones argues that European states seek a balance to the US in the international system, allowing Europe more autonomy and power in world affairs.

Review 'This challenging and superbly-researched book shows that reports of Europe's strategic irrelevance have been greatly exaggerated. ... Anyone who thinks that Europe is destined to remain Washington's 'junior partner' should read this clear, comprehensive and convincing book.' Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renee Belfer Professor of International Affairs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University and author of Taming American Power (2005) 'There is a quiet revolution going on in the European Union today: the states that comprise it are engaging in extensive cooperation on security matters. In this excellent study, Seth Jones delineates the causes, contours, and consequences of this revolution, as well as the trouble that it portends for US-European relations.' Robert J. Art, Christian A. Herter Professor of International Relations at Brandeis University and Research Associate at the Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University 'Seth Jones, one of America's outstanding scholar-analysts of security issues, provides an insightful, important and original analysis of past, current and future developments in Europe. As a former US Ambassador to NATO, I believe this book should be a 'must read' for policymakers and others interested in Europe. It offers the most comprehensive analysis of European developments in such areas as economic sanctions, arms production, and military forces.' Robert E. Hunter, US Ambassador to NATO, 1993-1998 and author of The European Security and Defense Policy: NATO's Companion - or Competitor? (2002) 'Seth Jones's newest work accomplishes one of the rarest feats: it offers sharp, counterintuitive analysis that is amply researched and elegantly argued. Jones not only offers a convincing analysis of the forces that have encouraged European security cooperation, but he leaves his reader with a solid grasp of its future dimensions. The Rise of European Security Cooperation is required reading for anyone who seeks to understand the surprising underpinnings of Europe's security cooperation - past, present or future.' William J. Dobson, Managing Editor, Foreign Policy Review Quote 'This challenging and superbly-researched book shows that reports of Europe's strategic irrelevance have been greatly exaggerated. The major European states remain acutely sensitive to balance-of-power politics, and the end of the Cold War has led them to sustained preparations for a more active global role. By forging military capabilities and diplomatic strategies tailored to Europe's particular strategic interests, the EU is gradually regaining the capacity to chart an independent course in international security affairs. Anyone who thinks that Europe is destined to remain Washington's 'junior partner' should read this clear, comprehensive and convincing book.' Stephen M.
