European Union Security Dynamics: In the New National Interest

by Janne Haaland Matláry

This book shows how France and Britain are leaders in EU security and defence policy, and explains why both states need each other in this policy area. The lack of relevant military capacity in Europe today implies that the US favours a strong EU in this field.
