The European Union’s Approaches to Cyber Diplomacy: Introduction to the Special Forum
Stuck on the stairway of change: The EU’s enlargement and security and defence policies post 2022
Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the European Union (EU) has taken a number of unprecedented decisions. These decisions and policy measures have involved key EU policies, above all the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) and enlargement. Has the external shock of the war created conditions for these policies to take a new path? Has the war been a ‘critical…
Confronting the Challenges to Multilateralism in Times of Crises: A New Editorial Team at Global Governance
A country of immigrants no more? The securitization of immigration in the National Security Strategies of the United States of America
This article studies the securitization of immigration in the United States of America (U.S.), through the analysis of the National Security Strategies (NSS) published between 2002 and 2017, using a two-layered analytical framework that combines securitization theory and agenda setting theory. A discursive analysis of each NSS documents shed some light on how immigration and immigration-related issues emerged, were removed or were prioritized in …
Tackling Covid-19 Disinformation: Internal and External Challenges for the European Union
The corona crisis is also a disinformation crisis for the global community in general, and for the European Union ( EU ) in particular. What is less clear is how adequate the EU ’s response to the ‘infodemic’ has been. This essay exposes the dangers of disinformation for the EU , which have intensified in the context of the COVID -19 pandemic, and reviews relevant EU responses. It then zooms in on two challenges exacerbated by the corona crisis: …
Theorising inter-organisational relations: The “EU–Nato relationship” as a catalytic case study
This article explores the historical evolution of research on the “European Union (EU)–North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) relationship” since the 1950s and examines the numerous ways in which it has served as an important case study for applying and developing theory-guided and conceptual research on inter-organisational relations (IOR) in International Relations. After a dearth of policy-oriented research during the 1990s and early 2000s,…
Conclusions
This chapter reviews the overall state of research in the field of inter-organizational relations, emphasizing its richness and experimental character, as well as challenges such as the risk of fragmentation and theorization in silos. More specifically, it serves three major purposes. First, we discuss the balance of review and exploration in our Handbook, pointing in particular to some of the chapters, which explore terra incognita. Second, we a…
United Nations rapid reaction mechanisms: Toward a global force on standby
This article analyses the main challenges and future prospects of creating United Nations (UN) rapid reaction mechanisms, particularly in the light of past attempts and current discussions about a “UN Vanguard Force” in the wake of the High-Level Panel on Peace Operations report. The article reviews major initiatives (in particular lessons from the Standby High Readiness Brigade for UN Operations) and assesses the main achievements, failures, and…
A European return to United Nations peacekeeping? Opportunities, challenges and ways ahead
This introductory article outlines the main rationale of the Special Issue and places the topic of the so-called ‘European Return to United Nations Peacekeeping’ in the wider context of recent policy developments and conceptual discussions related to the literature on UN troop contributions. It then outlines some of the key findings of the nine case studies (Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and the United …
The Oxford Handbook of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations
The Oxford Handbook of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations presents an innovative, authoritative, and accessible examination and critique of all United Nations peacekeeping operations launched between 1948 and 2013. Since the late 1940s, but particularly since the end of the Cold War, peacekeeping has been the most visible and one of the most important activities of the United Nations and a significant part of global security governance and co…
