European Security After 9/11 cover

Much scholarly attention has been paid to the United States' response to the events of 9/11. This timely volume broadens our understanding of the impact of the attacks by considering instead their consequences for European security and for the relationship between the US and leading European states. The book places into theoretical context the notion that the world changed by assessing shifting conceptions of security and warfare, linking this to new thinking in these areas. It also critically evaluates the idea that the war against terrorism is a manifestation of a cultural clash between the West and Islam, and provides detailed evaluations of British, French, German and Russian reactions to 9/11 and the subsequent war on Iraq. Bringing together an impressive collection of experts this work will be an excellent resource for courses on international security, European politics, and international relations.

’So many books and articles have been written about September 11 and its aftermath that it is now almost impossible to tell the wheat from the chaff. Thank goodness then for this contribution which deals intelligently, wisely and without rancour with the impact of the new Bush Doctrine on Europe Old and New. At last, 9/11 is beginning to produce a serious scholarship.’ Professor Michael Cox, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK ’European Security After 9/11 has much to say about security in Europe in an era in which terrorism is the major threat. The essays provide a superb mix of theory and empirical examination of the security policies of the United States and the major European states - as well as their disagreements. The reader looking for meaningful and balanced discussion of the impact of the Bush Doctrine on longstanding relationships will find here a concise, but incisive treatment - probably the best yet available in English.’ Dr Roger Kanet, University of Miami, USA '...undoubtedly useful and well-documented empirical detail provided by the case studies.' Political Studies Review 'This welcome volume offers a varied and well-informed analysis of European security in the wake of "9/11". The case study chapters are a real strength of the book, offering a concise account for any one seeking to understand the context and intracacies of the response to this unquestionably significant event' Perspectives on European Politics and Society 'European Security After 9/11 now finally provides the rigorous and thoughtful analysis of the new European security landscape so lacking in the extant literature.'
