Abstract
This study has sought to achieve three principal goals. First, it has traced the development of a European security and defense identity over the period 1979–92. Second, it has offered an analysis of the internal and external factors which influenced this development. Third, it has sought to explain the limited security mandate of the European Community concluded to date.

Notes
See Timothy Garton Ash, ‘Germany’s Choice’, Foreign Affairs 73, no. 3 (1994).
The neorealist school is becoming increasingly divided over its views on institutions, change, and the future of European security. Some neorealists now stress the potential of institutions for mediating the security dilemma. (Barry Buzan, Morten Kielstrup, Pierre Lemaitre, Elizabieta Tromer, and Ole Wæver, The European Security Order Recast: Scenarios for the Post-Cold War Era [London: Pinter, 1990]). More doctrinaire neorealists such as John Mearsheimer continue to ridicule institutions and predict an apocryphal return to West European wars.
