"This book is an invaluable resource to understanding the most complex security challenges facing nations of South East Europe and the world." - Karl A. Lamers, Deputy Chairman of the Defence Committee of the German Parliament and President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly

"Shaping South East Europe's Security Community for the Twenty First Century brings together a diversity of highly qualified academics and senior policy practitioners to explore critical traditional and non-traditional security challenges in South East Europe. As the region remains in flux, the book will no doubt contribute to the development of a regional security community, highlighting challenges shared among South East European nations and the global community. It is a timely effort and provides a unique source for university courses and graduate seminars as well as for policymakers." - Mustafa Aydin, Rector and Professor of International Relations at Kadir Has University, Instanbul and President of the International Relations Council of Turkey

"Through this comprehensive study of both traditional and new security sources and threats, addressing both academic specialists and political decision makers, the authors point to the importance of regional cooperation and strengthening mutual trust among the people of South East Europe in order to overcome the pervasive legacy of past conflict. The tremendous work of this distinguished group of highly qualified contributors aims to elaborate approaches to preserve regional stability and peace within South East Europe and the wider transatlantic and global communities." - Dragan Simi?, Professor of International Relations and Security in the Faculty of Political Science, University in Belgrade, Serbia

Fabio Mini (Italian Army), former Chief of Staff of the NATO Allied Forces of Southern Europe and Commander of the Kosovo-Force (KFOR)

Reseña del editor:

This book brings together leading academic specialists and policy practitioners to explore and develop cooperative approaches for managing critical contemporary and emerging security challenges for South East Europe and the wider international community.
Including a range of contributors from South East European countries, the United States, and other interested regional parties, this book focuses upon trust, partnership, and a striving for more effective regional integration. In antithesis to traditional approaches to national security driven by the illusions of power and national egotism, this collection adopts what has become the dominant approach to security management in South East Europe today - an attempt to conceptualize and realize security in all of its aspects as a cooperative endeavour for the collective good.
This book explores transnational challenges that will dominate the international security agenda in the years to come, in South East Europe and beyond. Issues considered include management of weapons of mass destruction, cyber security, transnational organized crime and corruption, violent extremism and terrorism, energy security, maritime security, economic development, and demographic change.
