Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Text in English. 220 pp. Minor edge wear. One dent on the rear cover. The theme of the 2006 Strategic Yearbook of the Swedish National Defence College, published in cooperation with the Finnish National Defence College, is the European Security and Defence Policy, ESDP. The contributions to the Yearbook provide perspectives different on ESDP theoretical and thematic, national and regional of subregional The European Security and Defence Policy does not equal a military alliance directed against any predefined enemy, but represents a European Union effort to organize itself for crisis management, stability and peacekeeping operations, collectively and nationally. This is a challenge both to the Europeans themselves and to the European neighbourhood, the security and stability of which is a part of the Union Security Strategy of 2003. The ESDP potentially involves countries and territory within a 6.000 kilometer radius of Brussels-thus sending an EU message both to the Caucasus, a "Wider Middle East", and Africa. It certainly impacts on the transatlantic relationship and has possibly long term implications for European global policies and the forming of a specific EU role in the international system.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Text in English. 342 pp. The 2004 Strategic Yearbook of the Swedish National Defence College, this year in a joint venture with the Finnish National Defence College, is an effort to assess the security setting in which Finland and Sweden now find themselves in the Post Post-Cold War Age. This book identifies the milieu factors, opportunities and risks that now influence thinking in Finland and Sweden, and the different options and choices that are open to - or will be forced upon - the two nations. For both countries, the year 2004 will involve decisions about the shaping of their security and defence policies, about their "belonging" in the Nordic-Baltic Sea region and European security structure, as well as the forming of their respective national defence organisations in a long term perspective, in light of what they consider the strategy for a small state should now be. While it is always inevitable - and legitimate - in a Finnish-Swedish context to refer to the historical relationship between the countries, this study is intended to be forward looking, to provide guidance in identifying and evaluating possible directions of our future security policies.
