This book examines the effectiveness of multilateralism in ensuring collective security and, in particular, the EU’s role in this process.

In 1992, shortly after the end of the Cold War, a Security Council Summit in New York reaffirmed the salience of the system of collective security and stated the determination of the Heads of State to maintain it as the prime international instrument for preserving peace. Twenty years later, however, the record of collective security as well as of multilateralism has not been very encouraging. The system of collective security, as enshrined in the United Nations (UN) Charter, failed repeatedly to accomplish its mandate in the 1990s and has led to controversial debates in the United States and Europe that reached a climax during the Iraq crisis in 2002/03.

The volume draws upon both theoretical and empirical research to answer the following core questions:

This book will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding/peacekeeping, EU policy, the UN, security studies and IR in general.

This book examines the strategic implications of Iran’s nuclear programme, providing an inventory of the negotiations and a discussion of possible solutions to this pressing international security issue.

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear programme has been the cause of one of the most extended international crises of the past decade. Multilateral institutions have been unable to resolve the issue, which has the potential to derail the global nuclear non-proliferation regime. Recent failures of diplomatic offers for an extended Iran-EU cooperation and projected US arms sales to Iran’s neighbours suggest an imminent escalation of the issue, which has been simmering since first reports about Iranian nuclear fuel-enrichment activities emerged in 2002.

Since then, the topic has been the subject of intense media coverage as well as academic and diplomatic debate. This volume brings together analysts and authors with diverse backgrounds, including international diplomats formerly involved in negotiations with Iranian officials. The various chapters bring together different perspectives and empirical analyses, and include detailed assessments of both US and European efforts in diplomatic relations with Iran, as well as of the domestic politics in Iran itself.

This book will be of interest to students of Iranian politics, Middle Eastern politics, strategic studies, nuclear proliferation, international security, foreign policy and IR in general.

This new handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the issues facing naval strategy and security in the twenty-first century.

Featuring contributions from some of the world’s premier researchers and practitioners in the field of naval strategy and security, this handbook covers naval security issues in diverse regions of the world, from the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean to the Arctic and the piracy-prone waters off East Africa’s coast. It outlines major policy challenges arising from competing claims, transnational organized crime and maritime terrorism, and details national and alliance reactions to these problems. While this volume provides detailed analyses on operational, judicial, and legislative consequences that contemporary maritime security threats pose, it also places a specific emphasis on naval strategy. With a public very much focused on the softer constabulary roles naval forces play (such as humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, naval diplomacy, maintenance of good order at sea), the overarching hard-power role of navies has been pushed into the background. In fact, navies and seapower have been notably absent from many recent academic discussions and deliberations of maritime security. This handbook provides a much-desired addition to the literature for researchers and analysts in the social sciences on the relationship between security policy and military means on, under, and from the sea. It comprehensively explains the state of naval security in this maritime century and the role of naval forces in it.

This book will be of much interest to students of naval security and naval strategy, security studies and IR, as well as practitioners in the field.

Innerhalb eines längerfristig angelegten, von der Otto Wolff von Amerongen-Stiftung geförderten Projekts beschäftigt sich die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Auswärtige Politik (DGAP) mit den Ausgangsbedingungen, Herausforderungen, Interessen und Strategien sowie den Institutionen und Ressourcen einer zukünftigen Deutschen Außenpolitik. Im dritten Band untersuchen ausgewiesene Experten die Interessen, Ziele und Strategien in den wichtigsten Betätigungsfeldern deutscher Außenpolitik.

Die Proliferation von Massenvernichtungswaffen wird im heutigen politischen Alltagsgebrauch oft und gerne als eines jener neuen Risiken beschrieben, welches in die gleiche Kategorie gehört wie Drogenschmuggel, Migration, Umweltprobleme etc. Damit ist - politisch gesehen - mehr oder weniger implizit vorgegeben, daß dies alles Themen sind, die hochspezialisiert und Gegenstand von Expertenberatungen sind und bleiben sollen. Das vorliegende Buch stellt den Versuch dar, den Nachweis des Gegenteils anzutreten.
