The Future of Neutrality in Europe
Author: Richard LatterPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Europe
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
Neutrality has often been criticized as a luxury made possible only because of the efforts of others, be they NATO in Europe of the Allies in the Gulf. However, the bridging role between East and West played by neutrals during the Cold War is recognized and valued by many. The end of the Cold War, though, has brought questions about the validity of neutrality and how far it is compatible with EC membership. This paper, based on a conference at Wilton Park, explores and discusses the key issues surrounding the concept of neutrality in today's political climate.
History of the Council of Europe
Author: Birte WassenbergPublisher: Council of Europe
ISBN: 9287178453
Category : History
Languages : fr
Pages : 452
Book Description
The Council of Europe, the oldest European organisation, was founded in 1949 with the aim of unifying the continent as a whole. The decision to establish its headquarters in Strasbourg was, moreover, symbolic of the desire for reconciliation between peoples. From the outset the Council of Europe adopted an institutional structure comprising a committee of ministers and a parliamentary assembly - the first in Europe. This book retraces the history of the Organisation. Consisting initially of Western European states, the Council of Europe was destined to embrace all the continent's countries, but the Cold War delayed its enlargement. It is only since 1989 that the Council of Europe has become a truly pan-European organisation, now comprising 47 member states. Its mission is based on three major goals: protecting human rights, promoting democratic values and guaranteeing the rule of law. The Council of Europe is also very active in fostering co-operation in all areas of life: education, sport, culture, etc. Starting in 1959, the European Court of Human Rights grew to become the Organisation's flagship institution: its judgments are binding on the member states. As an intergovernmental organisation, the Council of Europe has had to contend with the growth of the European Union and has sought constantly to redefine its role in international relations. In these early years of the 21st century, will it succeed in securing a key position in the European institutional architecture?

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
The enlargement of European-based organisations has reached a near terminal point. The Council of Europe and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) currently cover virtually all states of Europe (Belarus still remains excluded from the first of these). The EU and NATO have experienced extensive processes of enlargement and the scope for continuing enlargement is now limited largely to the Balkans and the European neutrals. Given this state of affairs it is now pertinent to think of a Europe characterised not by enlargement but by post-enlargement.In International Relations (IR) conceptual thinking on Europe (as opposed just to the EU) has been undertaken using a range of scholarly tools. In this volume, attention to Europe proceeds from English School (ES) thinking, and specifically its three-fold distinction between international system, international society and world society. It is the international society element (the development/institutionalisation of shared interests and identities buttressed by rules and norms) which signifies in their most concrete form different patterns of interaction or integration between states.This book will be of interest to international relations scholars, as well as practitioners within the European Union and other intergovernmental institutions.It was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Integration.
