Review Quotes: 'In a concise and intellectually engaging manner, European Security since the Fall of the Berlin Wall succeeds in illuminating real changes in European security, as well as consequent changes in academic thinking. Frédéric Mérand, Martial Foucault, and Bastien Irondelle clearly and precisely link the different theories and levels of analysis found throughout these essays to develop a convincing new research agenda for complex security phenomena. Readers will easily identify common themes and perspectives in this creative and appealing contribution to research.'--Markus Kaim, Head of the International Security Division, German Institute for International and Security Affairs
'Right from its introduction, European Security since the Fall of the Berlin Wall will generate significant "going-in" interest for readers. Each essay contained in this collection represents an excellent piece of scholarship, and an accessible and vital contribution to thinking about contemporary international security problems.'--Sean Kay, Department of Politics and Government, Ohio Wesleyan University
