The United States and European defence

01 April 2000
By

The more headway the Europeans make in the setting up of a true European Union defence capability, the more voices are heard in the United States that analyse, question, challenge or fear this new European ambition. Nothing, moreover, could be more natural, given that, in their serious intent, their scope and their unanimity, the decisions taken at Cologne and Helsinki signal a clear departure from the EU’s long tradition of politico-strategic non-existence.

By

The WEU Institute for Security Studies organised a seminar on ‘The future of the Euro-Mediterranean security dialogue’, on 13-14 January 2000 in Paris.

L'ouverture des marchés de la défense : enjeux et modalités

01 February 2000
By

Créer un marché de défense ouvert à l’échelle européenne est considéré, depuis longtemps déjà, comme un moyen de renforcer la concurrence entre les entreprises européennes et de favoriser les rationalisations industrielles. Mais plus encore, à l’heure où la restructuration de l’offre avance à grands pas, l’ouverture des marchés d’armement représente pour beaucoup un des enjeux majeurs de la réorganisation de la demande.

Participation and influence: Finland, Sweden and the post-Amsterdam development of the CFSP

01 January 2000
By

Militarily non-aligned Finland and Sweden are in many ways borderline countries in Europe. Historically, they are newcomers in the process of integration; geographically, they are located at the border of the Union; and borders play an important role also in their foreign and security policies – both because of their concern for the nature of the EU’s outer borders and because of their wish to draw a (border-)line between crisis management and defence.

The European Union and the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons

01 January 2000
By

In 1994-1995, one of the first joint actions by the European Union in the framework of the CFSP concerned the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. And it was successful: during the NPT Review Conference in April-May 1995, the member countries of the Union played an essential role in ensuring the indefinite extension of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

01 November 1999
By

This paper analyses one of WEU’s several types of membership while addressing the issue of participation of WEU Associate Members in the EU decision-making process for Petersberg operations. European Members of NATO which are not members of the EU (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, Poland, and Turkey) are Associate Members of WEU, with which they maintain a close relationship.

European force structures: Papers presented at a seminar held in Paris on 27 & 28 May 1999

01 August 1999
By

The enclosed papers were presented at a conference held in Paris from 27-28 May. This could not have been more timely, coming as it did immediately after the Washington and Bremen summits and shortly before the Cologne summit at a period when Europe was being subject to considerable scrutiny, both from within and without, about its overall composite capabilities in the light of the Kosovo operation then still under way.
