Diplomacy and Security Community-BuildingEU Crisis Management in the Western Mediterranean\nAuthor(s): Niklas Bremberg\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138925731, 978-1138925731\nSynopsis\nThis book contributes to the ongoing debate in IR on the role of security communities and formulates a new mechanism-based analytical framework.\n\nIt argues that the question we need to ask is how security communities work at a time when armed conflicts among states have become significantly less frequent compared to other non-military threats and trans-boundary risks ([url] terrorism and the adverse effects of climate change). Drawing upon recent advances in practice theory, the book suggests that the emergence and spread of cooperative security practices, ranging from multilateral diplomacy to crisis management, are as important for understanding how security communities work as more traditional confidence-building measures..
