"Richard Rose is uniquely placed to address the major policy challenge facing Europe today: how to create a stable security framework after the war in Ukraine ends. Drawing on a lifetime of lived experience as well as vast research, Rose explains clearly the choices Europe faces. This book is a must read for students of European politics and for security policymakers." -- Simon Hix, European University Institute Florence, Italy "Donald Trump has made the issue of European security deeply divisive in the United State and isolationism is on the rise. Read this book to find out how Europe will cope." -- William Schneider, George Mason University emeritus & CNN political analyst "A magisterial and thought-provoking account of the development of European security from the Second World War to today." -- Anand Menon, Director of UK in a Changing Europe "Richard Rose explores pressing questions facing Europe today. Is America's post-1945 will to provide security for Europe faltering? Will Berlin, Brussels, London and Paris be able to fill the void? Can the EU match its economic success with a real defence role? He offers a fascinating assessment of European security - past, present and future.

" -- Anthony Teasdale, former Director- General, European Parliamentary Research Service, Visiting Professor, LSE and Columbia University "This book offers here an expert analysis of the crucial question as to how European security was achieved during the cold war and how it can now still be attained going forward given Russia's war on Ukraine. For a broad array of readers this tour de force delineates clearly the critical constraints, and motivations of the EU, the UN, NATO, US, UK, Russia and Ukraine." -- Marc Berenson, Kings College London, UK " European Security provides an accessible, up-to-date overview of history from the end of the Second World War to Russia's war against Ukraine. Its thematic coverage offers a clear-eyed interpretation of security in Europe." -- Thomas F. Remington, Harvard and Emory Universities.
