Overview
Roisin Doherty provides an innovative insight into European security policy by concentrating on Ireland through an analysis of compatibility of Irish neutrality with security integration and analyzing the factors influencing security integration. This contemporary analysis of neutrality also deals with the development of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and examining the factors pushing forward the development of EU security policy.A specialized text suitable for undergraduate and post-graduate courses in international relations, European studies and administrative studies this stimulating volume will appeal to those interested in the European Union, Irish foreign policy, neutrality and the CFSP in general.
Synopsis
Doherty (U. of Ulster) investigates the extent to which states previously committed to neutrality will be involved in the new order, and what implications that involvement will have for neutrality. Taking the Irish perspective, he focuses on the continued compatibility of neutrality with participation in European security structures, particularly the Common Foreign and Security Policy, which calls for a common defense that may be incompatible with neutrality. His study is based on his Ph.D. dissertation, and is not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
