Summary
"This book addresses Europe's ability to be a key actor in the new international security environment by assessing its capability to respond to threats in a networked manner. If the risk of a Soviet invasion of Europe has now disappeared, new security threats have emerged and the military has taken on a new range of responsibilities, including peacekeeping and humanitarian relief operations. As military operations are increasingly undertaken within the framework of international coalitions, their success depends largely on the degree to which national forces can work in a coordinated way in the field."--BOOK JACKET
