Remaking Europe in the Margins
C. Browning

This comprehensive volume examines the issue of Europe-making related to the post EU/NATO enlargement and the post 9/11 situation. Dual enlargement and the War on Terrorism are raising important questions for various actors in Europe, in particular what these developments will mean for the future of regional cooperation and the development of a regional subjectivity. Such concerns have been further compounded by America's distinction between 'New Europe' and 'Old Europe'. The volume analyzes at both policy and conceptual levels how the dual enlargement and the War on Terrorism will impact on regional cooperation in northern Europe. It examines how events in northern Europe have helped shape the nature of European space, borders and governance, including how the EU, the US and Russia have each highlighted northern Europe as a special case to be utilized and learnt from in dealing with problems elsewhere in Europe and globally. Presenting original articles, the volume will appeal to scholars of regional politics as well as security, international relations theory and geopolitics.'New meaning emerges at the boundaries. Chris Browning has done a good job of bringing theories of social boundaries to a study of geographical ones.' Iver B. Neumann, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, Norway 'The lesson of this book is that being small, on the borders or peripheral can also entail resources for gaining subjectivity and influence. The book demonstrates how the North certainly has something to offer to the whole of Europe as a model of regional development. The reflective and stimulating chapters conduct the reader through various issues that are in process following the dual enlargement of the EU and NATO and the events of 9/11.' Marko Lehti, University of Tampere, Finland
