This book has benefited from generous financial assistance from several sources. It was initially conceived as part of a project funded by the Danish Social Science Research Council (DSSRC), which was coordinated by Pertti Joenniemi and Christopher Browning at Copenhagen Peace Research Institute (COPRI) (before it was merged into the Danish Institute for International Studies), and Professor Edward Rhodes at Rutgers University. The project, entitled, Westphalia or New Hansa? The US, the EU and the Unfolding of Political Space and World Order: The Case of the European North, sought to explore the unfolding geopolitics of Europe and the North and to account for the role played by the major external powers in the region. As a part of this project, DSSRC funding enabled the organisation of two workshops, one at Rutgers University (January 2003), the other held in Copenhagen (September 2003), during which the idea behind this edited volume germinated. Invaluable support was also received from the School of Social Sciences at the University of Birmingham, to host a final workshop in June 2004 that brought together the contributors to the volume and that was aimed at finalising the manuscript. The authors would like to thank all the people who attended these events. Finally, the manuscript was completed whilst the Editor was a Research Fellow on the New Security Challenges Programme of the UKs Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
