Euro-Atlantic Security Programme
The purpose of the programme is to study the current and emerging dimensions of the security processes, with a particular emphasis on the Euro-Atlantic and regional actors, and security institutions and mechanisms
The programme analyses the factors contributing to stability and change in the existing security environment. An additional research area is the examination of how the European military security-building experience can be used in non-European regional contexts.
The main areas of work cover:
- EU-Atlantic security: US-European security issues; defence
and security developments in the EU; the European Neighbourhood
Policy (ENP); developments in NATO and EU-NATO relations; Russian
relations with NATO and the EU; security and democracy movements and other
changes in the former Soviet space; follow up to 'reform'
studies and initiatives in OSCE; developments in the Nordic and Baltic region
and in the Balkans
-
Conventional arms control: developments in the OSCE: the CFE Treaty and CSBMs; subregional arrangements in the OSCE area; other major regional developments; global restrictions on conventional arms (notably in the humanitarian context: landmines, explosive remnants of war, cluster munitions)
- Other regional security issues: China-Russia relations (SCO); China–Taiwan relations; security building on the Korean peninsula.
