Towards a Truly European Security System

David Fouquet and Manuel Kohnstamm

Chapter 13 in The Economics of International Security, 1994, pp 118-128 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The last few months of 1991 set in motion a process that could result in a fundamental transformation of the European security system. It could move away from the US-dominated alliance of the post-war period to a more balanced relationship. While a lengthy and sometimes confused transition is inevitable, the culmination towards the end of the century could be a more mature and self-confident European entity that is no longer dependent on an American guarantee or rescue. That evolution will probably have its frustrations and even tragedies, and its outcome may not be welcomed by those more comfortable with a perception of security provided by an American superpower.
