This book
reproduces the contributions during a colloquium that was
organised by Pierre Pascallon, President of the Club "Participation
and Progress" on 20 Mai 1994 in Paris. An extensive preface
by the editor reviews the evolution of European security institutions
until 1995 (pp. 7-34) and. François Thual analyses
the evolution of Europe from Yalta until the early 1990s (pp.
37-59).
In part
I (pp.63 - 159) several authors discuss the role of the different
institutions in charge of European security, including the
Council of Europe, the European Community, NATO, CSCE, the
Western European Union, while Victor-Yves Ghebali assesses
the competition and cooperation among these security institutions
(pp. 98-102), and Philippe Moreau-Defargues debate the relationship
between the European Union and NATO (pp. 103-107). Several
authors evaluate the different instruments of European security,
e.g. the Eurocorps (pp. 109-129) and the development of the
new force structures of NATO (pp. 130- 138) and the Combined
Joint Task Forces of NATO and WEU (pp. 139-151).
The second
major part (pp. 163-278) deals with the perspectives on the
future European security policy, starting with the goals of
a veritable European security policy from different perspectives
of politicians (pp. 163-191), and from the vantage point of
several experts (pp.192-214), and the necessary means with
a special focus on the role of France (pp. 215-222), the Franco-German
relationship (pp. 223-236) and the Franco-German cooperation
on armament issues (pp. 237-249), on the role of a European
Satellite Agency (pp. 250-254), of NATO (pp. 255-260), of
the WEU (pp. 270-278) and on the Central and Eastern European
countries (pp. 261-269). The book concludes with a discussion
by General Maurice Schmitt (pp. 279-286) on the needed military
means for such a European security policy.
