Security Policy Reorientation in Peripheral Europe: A Comparative-Perspective Approach

By Kjell Engelbrekt

This comparative analysis looks at security policy reorientation in four European states located at the periphery of the European continent. During the post-Cold War period, Greece, Bulgaria, Sweden and Finland conducted a security policy that was heavily influenced by their close proximity to the iron curtain. Probing this transition during a decisive phase of the post-Cold War reconstitution of the wider European security order, the author analyzes national security policy making from the standpoints of three international relations traditions -realism, institutionalism and political anthropology. The work should be useful to students, scholars and policy analysts working in the field of international relations and European politics.
