Europe has experienced a security transition over the past half century - the continent has developed from a highly conflict-prone to a remarkably stable region in a relatively short historical period. Nevertheless, although today the likelihood of large-scale conflict in Europe is remote, since 1945 European states, policymakers and populations have faced ever-changing and complex security threats. What are these threats and how have they changed? What has been the response by European states unilaterally and within the European Union?
Objectives
This course seeks to provide an overview of numerous themes in the areas of conflict and violence in Europe. We will examine the historical context of European security, the security concerns and strategies of large and small European states, institutional security structures, the threat environment, and as a group we will discuss and analyze factors involved in ensuring that Europe remains a secure and stable region.
