Opis: The European Union and the Use of Military Force - Tommi Koivula

Koivula examines the discursive space related to the use of military force by the European Union (EU). By examining the EU's relationship to its use of military force during the course of its history and by demonstrating that the contemporary discursive space of the EU military dimension is incoherent in nature and contains inherent contradictions, he seeks to answer the related question of whether extreme forms of military enforcement, for example killing, is appropriate for the EU. 'Decisions taken at Helsinki launched the EU's military dimension, and it is worth listening to a Finnish voice on what happened next. In this book, Dr Koivula pulls apart several myths and false debates to focus on the use of military force under the EU Common Security and Defence Policy. What does the EU say (or avoid saying) about this, and what does it actually do? Bearing in mind the traditional idea of using force as a test of effective power in the world, what do the answers tell us more generally about the Union? Using the newest research concepts and techniques, this book offers frank and clear answers to some tangled and (for Europeans) surprisingly sensitive questions.' Alyson J.K.
