Managing conflict in the new Europe

by Fergus Carr

"Since the end of the Cold War, international institutions have had to rise to challenges of instability and insecurity in Europe. Fergus Carr and Theresa Callan examine the changing nature of European Security, cooperation and conflict. A key theme is the development of the new European security architecture and the roles of NATO, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Union and the United Nations. The nature of conflict in the current era is contrasted with the Cold War and the increasing salience of sub-state conflicts is explored. The authors examine institutional responses to conflicts both between and within states and the problems of intervention in ethnic conflicts are analyzed through the crises in Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo and Macedonia."--Jacket.
