Author Description

This collection of papers by peace researchers and other social scientists is based on a search for the existence of security interests common to Eastern and Western Europe. They reflect the idea of creating a forum for discussion of the changing official and unofficial perspectives on European security of the superpowers, and the major and minor European states. Among the most important topics discussed are the internal socio-political changes that the traditional political structures have not been able to incorporate, the perspectives of the superpowers and surveys of the debate on European security in each of 11 states. The book begins and ends with a theoretical overview.
