Foreign and Security Policy Institutions in Central and Eastern Europe
Absztrakt :
The studies of this book follow a three-fold structure.
First, a historical overview of how the dominant security/
threat perceptions have evolved since 1989 is provided,
with reference to how official documents reflected these
changes. This is then followed by a consideration of the
key stakeholders in foreign policy decision-making, also
introducing readers to the major foreign policy decisions taken and institutional transformations carried out
during the period in question, with special regard to the
ministries of foreign affairs and defence, reforms in the
field of defence and the military, and in the field of intelligence. The third and final parts of the studies then offer
the readers two illustrative case studies each. The authors were requested to present one case of a major foreign
policy decision and another, lesser known case, to thus
illustrate the role of key actors and factors examined in
the first two sections of their studies.
