Cooperating with the European Union in Europe: Policy or Strategy?

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: New Security Challenges Series ((NSECH))

Abstract

It might be confusing to read yet another chapter on the Balkans after reading Chapter 3 on Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Chapter 4 on Kosovo. There are, however, some important aspects that justify this additional chapter. First, since Chapters 3 and 4 focus solely on a single country and Chapter 5 focuses on the whole region, there are important spatial differences. Second, the chapters are separated in the temporal dimension as well. Third, and more importantly, while Chapters 3 and 4 focus on the dynamics related to the interventions, Chapter 5 focuses on the inter-institutional cooperation between NATO and the European Union.1 In other words while Chapters 3 and 4 provide important insights to be used in comparison with the chapter on the intervention in Afghanistan, this chapter provides insights to be used in comparison with the chapter on the inter-institutional cooperation in Africa. The chapter will focus on three cases of cooperation between NATO, on the one hand, and the European Union on the other; in chronological order these are Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo.
