| Summary |
"At a time of unprecedented turmoil in the transatlantic relationship, this book addresses a number of the key security challenges that confront decision-makers on both sides of the Atlantic. The contributors examine the widening divergences in Western threat perceptions and investigate religiously-motivated terrorism both as a socio-political phenomenon and as a security threat. The risks and unique challenges posed by the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction are examined and the viability of new arms control and disarmament regimes to tackle these dangers is assessed. Finally, the book examines what the impact of the post-9/11 security environment has been on the evolution of both NATO and the European Security System."--BOOK JACKET |
