- More about Security Perception and Security Policy in Central Europe, 1989-2019
Central Europe is a homogeneous subunit with similar cultural traits, common histories, and a linked troubled past, but it has embarked on a joint process of European integration. However, there are significant differences hidden in the cracks, and the states of Central Europe exhibit large variety in two key elements that make regional cooperation uniquely challenging: their strategic cultures and their relations toward Russia. This book provides an overview of how these two factors have varied in the post-Cold War era, up until 2019, and takes a deep dive into nine Central and Eastern European states policies.

Central Europe, often seen as a cohesive and unified region, holds a distinctive identity characterized by shared cultural heritage, common historical experiences, and a troubled past. Over the past three decades, the region has embarked on a collective journey toward European integration, fostering a sense of unity and cooperation. However, a closer examination reveals that beneath the surface, Central Europe boasts significant diversity in two critical aspects that pose unique challenges to regional cooperation: its strategic cultures and its relations with Russia.
Two fundamental factors shape a state's foreign policy and international aspirations: its perception of the security environment and the capabilities it possesses. Policy experts offer an insightful overview of how these two factors have evolved in the post-Cold War era, culminating in 2019.
In this comprehensive volume, a diverse group of contributing authors delve into the policies of nine Central and Eastern European states: Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, and Ukraine. Through a methodical study of these states, the authors aim to challenge the prevailing notion of Central Europe as a monolithic region. This approach offers valuable insights for scholars and individuals interested in understanding the motivations and dynamics behind individual Central European states' participation in NATO and EU security and defense initiatives and policies.
The book was originally published as a special issue of Defense & Security Analysis, a renowned journal dedicated to exploring the complex dynamics of security and defense in the global context.
