About this book

The question of burden sharing has always been important in NATO with an acute relevance today as the US will cut its defence budget over a ten-year period and is no longer automatically willing to lead military operations. This volume considers Europe's role in political force for the future exploring eight European case studies.

Reviews

"The first thing that should be said [about this book] is that it represents a remarkably coherent set of essays that bear all the hallmarks of tight and effective editorial control. It poses the central question of what role Europe can play in regional and global security and defence, and couches its analysis in terms of both military ability and the political willingness to use force. Above and beyond this, it seeks explanations of Europe's ability to play such a role, both at the international level and domestically, in the form of politics, ideology, military and strategic culture, and military capacity." - International Affairs
