Building Defense Institutions: The Broader Context Today
0 comments
By Peter Faber
This chapter outlines the broader context of defense institution building with regard to the EU and NATO. The author argues that the achievements, a multi-pillar Europeanism on the part of the EU, and out-of-area expeditionary operations on the part of NATO, are not as comprehensive, either as explanations or frameworks, as they once were or need to be. The post-1989 interregnum has come and remained. The author maintains that the past developments of defense institution building have passed through two stages and have now entered a third, whose main challenges and open questions he outlines.
