Europe is at the same time an object, a theatre, and an actor in foreign and security policy. As such, European security lies at the crossroads of the strategies and actions of European states, international organizations—NATO and the EU—and external powers, including China, Russia, and the United States. This class offers to introduce students to the foreign policies of key European states as well as the inner workings of the European Union and NATO, while surveying a number of key debates and risks surrounding Europe’s security.
