Publisher's Synopsis
Whilst traditional military aspects of security are in decline, the instabilities thrown up by the resurgence of nationalism, terrorism, Islamic fundamentalism and mass migration, have created other concerns, notably societal security.;A theoretical framework provides the context for analysis of various conflicting trends in Europe, Europeanization (including the forces against integration) and migration, which are likely to have major significance for societal security in Europe in the 1990s, particularly in relation to national identity. The authors then consider the wider implications of these processes for security in the former Soviet Union and the Middle East.;This volume is indispensable for anyone wishing to acquire a deeper understanding of current events and a context for the future.
