Western European Security and the Role of NATO

Franco A. Casadio

Chapter 4 in Western Europe and South-East Asia, 1997, pp 50-60 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract 1. We Europeans often find ourselves questioning the foundation and credibility of the security of Western Europe. In fact, for thirty years now we have been asking the same three questions. What is Europe frightened of (from now on we shall say ‘Europe’ even if we mean ‘Western Europe’)? What is the threat which the individual countries feel to their own security? Each of them perceives it in a more or less different way, but in all cases they feel it comes from the east. This is the first question.
