Abstract

[From the introduction]. Security and security policy are on the agenda of the European Union (EU) as never before. The inclusion in the Maastricht Treaty of a Common Foreign and Security Policy as a second pillar of the European Union is evidence enough of that. Further, the innovation in the defence arena regarding the proposed relationship of the EU to the Western European Union appears to show that the EU is grappling with security policy in earnest, though the results have been decidedly mixed. War in the former Yugoslavia has served to heighten the sense of urgency to giving a security profile to the EU as conflict in the Balkans has dispersed refugees across the continent of Europe and threatens to spread beyond its present confines.
