Scholars from both sides of the Atlantic explore the development of ESDI within NATO, the revival of the WEU and the launch of the EU's Common European Security and Defense Policy. Among the issues discussed are the Euro-American capabilities gap, concerns regarding decoupling, discrimination, and duplication, and the complications posed by NATO/EU enlargement. Two contrary conclusions debate whether ESDP is more likely to strengthen or undermine the Atlantic Alliance. This informative foray into trans-Atlantic security and defense issues is a crucial addition to the ongoing dialogue concerning this shifting and evolving relationship Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject North Atlantic Treaty Organization European Union SUBJECT European Union fast North Atlantic Treaty Organization fast Subject National security -- Europe -- History -- 20th century National security -- Europe -- History -- 21st century Security, International.
