divided by Cold War or would find in a half-decade’s history evidence of
a work in progress.
An inherent danger in any attempt to redefine European security is a
relentless inflation of the number and variety of meanings for the concept

preliminary judgments look foolish. Distinctions between national and
regional, military and economic security have blurred to an extent that it
is unrealistic to speak of one dimension without some reference to the
others. In Europe this feature of contemporary international affairs is more
