Security Policy Reorientation in Peripheral Europe: A Comparative-Perspective Approach: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Security Policy Reorientation in Peripheral Europe: A Comparative-Perspective Approach" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This title was first published in 2002. This rich comparative analysis looks at security policy reorientation in four European states located at the periphery of the European continent. During the post-Cold War period, Greece, Bulgaria, Sweden and Finland conducted a security policy that was heavily influenced by their close proximity to the iron curtain. Probing this transition during a decisive phase of the post-Cold War reconstitution of the wider European security order, the author analyzes national security policy making from the standpoints of three international relations traditions - realism, institutionalism and political anthropology. This engaging work is invaluable for students, scholars and policy analysts working in the field of international relations and European politics.

Are the following two thoughts compatible? Several years back, having been aware of the true size of the task I undertook in starting to write this book, I most likely would have reconsidered. Yet today, knowing the exact price I had to pay to complete it, I cannot regret it.

It is a rationality paradox of sorts. One can argue that the person who several years back misjudged the effort that would be required in fact had been right to abandon his or her ambitious scientific enterprise. But one may just as well assert the person who eventually turned out satisfied is correct when he or she in retrospect can reaffirm the initial choice. This underscores the old academic wisdom that the value or significance of an intellectual journey can never be anticipated before its completion. It is not, I believe, that the satisfaction at the end of the process falls short of or surpasses previous expectations. The experience simply makes previous expectations obsolete and transcends them. It is also the reason why scholars tend to repeat what many decisionmakers find a tedious demand, namely that a large portion of research funding ought to be funnelled into basic and not applied research.

Speaking of expectations, research is often made out to be a lonely enterprise. For my part, I cannot say that this has been the overwhelming impression. Perhaps it has something to do with my own familys inclination not to conceal but to scrutinize everybodys professional (as well as private) problems, and to do so collectively. But I must also admit that I have always felt a member of a wider research community, both in the local sense, and through my relations with colleagues abroad and overseas.

Beginning with the local community, I am first of all grateful to all my friends and colleagues at the Department of Political Science, University of Stockholm, for their support and collaboration throughout the 1990s. For their help with comments and ideas in connection with this project, I would particularly like to thank Lisbeth Aggestam, Hans Agn, Jens Bartelson (now University of Copenhagen), Andreas Behnke, Maud Eduards, Maria Heilman, Ersun Kurtulus, Bo Lindensj, Ulrika Mrth, Bertil Nygren, Lucas Pettersson, Magnus Reitberger, Kristina Riegert (now South Stockholm University College), Merrick Tabor, Charlotte Wagnsson (now National Defense College), Jacob Westberg, and Mike Winnerstig (now Swedish Defense Studies Institute). In particular, Kjell Goldmann on several occasions provided a careful blend of subtle hints and incisive, forthright criticism.

Widening the circle beyond Stockholm, I wish to extend my gratitude to Ulf Bjereld at Gothenburg University, Jeffrey Checkel of ARENA (Oslo), Beate Kohler-Koch of the University of Mannheim, John W. Meyer of Stanford University, Antonio Missiroli of the WEU Institute for Security Studies, Hans Mouritzen of the Danish Institute of International Affairs and Antje Wiener of the University of Hannover, who at one point or another all contributed with a range of important remarks. While I have not always accommodated this text to their advice and sometimes profoundly critical comments, I am deeply grateful for their efforts and serious consideration of various portions of this book.
