The EU Security Continuum: Blurring Internal and External Security: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The EU Security Continuum: Blurring Internal and External Security" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book examines how internal and external security are blurring at the EU level, and the implications this has for EU security governance and the EU as a security actor.

The EU claims that internal and external security are inseparable and requires a more integrated approach. This book critically assesses this claim in relation to the threats facing the EU, its responses to them, and the practical and normative implications for EU security governance and actorness. It sets out a novel conceptual framework the EU security continuum - to examine the ways and extent to which internal and external security are blurring along three axes: geographic, bureaucratic, and functional. This is done through an analysis of four key security issues, regional conflict, terrorism, organised crime, and cybersecurity. The book demonstrates that, to varying degrees, these security threats and/or responses do transcend boundaries. However, institutional turf wars and capability silos hamper the EUs integrated approach and, therefore, its management of transboundary security threats. Yet, the EUs pursuit of an integrated approach is reframing its claimed normative distinctiveness toward a more practical one, based on a transnational and multidimensional approach. Such a rearticulation, if implemented, would make the EU a genuinely transboundary security actor, properly structured and equipped to tackle the 21st centurys internal-external security continuum.

This book will be of much interest to students of European Security, EU politics, and international relations.

The aim of this series is to bring together the key experts on European security from the academic and policy worlds, and assess the state of play of the EU as an international security actor. The series explores the EU, and its member states, security policy and practices in a changing global and regional context. While the focus is on the politico-military dimension, security is put in the context of the holistic approach advocated by the EU.

This book has been a long time in the making. Its difficult journey would not have ended successfully without the support and assistance of several people.
I would like to express my thanks to my institutional home and its staff, the Department of International Politics at Aberystwyth University, for their encouragement and engagement with the project. I am particularly grateful to Jan Ruzicka, Milja Kurki, Andrew Davenport, James Vaughan, and Warren Dockter. Beyond Interpol in Aber, friends and colleagues have been generous in their time, commenting on chapters, engaging in conversations about them, and providing moral support, in particular Laura Chappell, Claudia Hillebrand, Graeme Davies, Andrew Priest, and Richard Beardsworth. The largest professional debt I owe is to David Brown, a friend and colleague who motivated me when writing was a struggle. His time, insights, suggestions, and support have been invaluable. He went beyond all expectations. I am also appreciative for the comments I received on various aspects of the book from participants at numerous academic conferences and workshops organised by UACES, BISA, and International Studies Association, and through research seminars at various universities. Nevertheless, as with all such projects, all errors and omissions remain my own. The understanding and patience of Andrew Humphrys and Beth Lund-Yates at Routledge and the Routledge Studies in European Security and Strategy series editors, Sven Biscop and Richard Whitman, have been extremely generous.
Much of the research for this book would not have been possible without the generosity of many EU officials who gave up their time to speak to me about my research. These conversations provided valuable insights, shaped ideas, and clarified numerous policies and practices within the EU. I would like to thank those within the European External Action Service, the European Commission, the Council Secretariat, Europol, and the EDA that agreed to meet with me despite their busy schedules.
Finally, I am immensely grateful for the unwavering belief, understanding, support, and love of my family. The sacrifices they have made and the endless happiness they bring, even in the face of my grumpiness, ensured I kept going and stayed grounded despite moments of self-doubt. Without them, especially my wife, Judith, this book would not have materialised.
