Summary:
At present, Europe is confronted with a number of serious common and global challenges, the most important being the economic crisis, migration issues, geopolitical tensions at its external borders, terrorism, as well as climate change and environmental challenges. These developments have a huge impact on the stability and security of the continent as a whole and on each individual European country. Europe, more particularly the European Union, has to organise its governance and security infrastructure in such a way that it can cope with these global threats. This book collects a number of topics and themes connected to the governance and/or security dimensions of EU co-operation. The parts of the book deal respectively with: the values and general principles of EU co-operation; institutional aspects of EU co-operation; a number of individual policy domains; areas of European criminal law; the external relations of the EU; and the future functioning of EU co-operation as a whole.
