内容説明

Surprisingly, this is the first book to be dedicated to the study of the Western European Union, even though the WEU has, for so long, represented the defense identity of Western Europe. During the Cold War, the WEU was subordinate to NATO, but since 1990 it has been seen as a potential competitor to the Atlantic Alliance. Debate has raged within the policymaking community since then, fueled by the progress in European integration and influenced by conflicts such as that in Bosnia.This book seeks to explain the development of the WEU, focusing in particular on its current role. Chapters investigate the institutional and operational development of the WEU and its proposed enlargement. G. Wyn Rees assesses the motivations of its leading membersFrance, Germany, and the United Kingdomand the progress made toward enhancing the WEUs role in the 199697 Intergovernmental Conference.
