The adaptation of the 1990 CFE Treaty and the Vienna Document 1994 of the Negotiations on Confidence- and Security-Building Measures were both completed by the November 1999 OSCE Istanbul summit meeting. In the new century, Europe will continue to elaborate further co-operative security arrangements to better respond to new risks and challenges in the field of security and help create stability in areas of tension and conflict. The aim is twofold: to strengthen the pan-European process of building confidence and security; and to develop measures and arms control-related arrangements below the continental level - at the regional and subregional levels. This research report examines the record of CSBMs in Europe as well as regional arms control efforts in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. It contains important reference material on military security endeavours of this type.
This book asks why European countries tried to build a security institution outside of NATO, emphasising the influence of political party ideologies.
While European integration advances, many of the countries along Europe's eastern and southern periphery have fallen prey to chronic conflict punctuated by a series of small wars. Exacerbating the situation has been the lack of effective organizational means for mediating local conflicts, facilitating regional development and structuring cooperation with larger regional and international institutions. What are the prospects for enhancing security in the most volatile subregions of post-communist Europe? This text examines the external and internal factors that impede or foster subregional cooperation in South-Eastern and East-Central Europe and the Caucasus. It includes chapters situating these borderlands in the context of a wider Europe with an evolving security architecture.

The authors of this study argue that the current security situation in Europe resembles a glass that is either half-empty or half-full and show that, while the Vienna Document CSBM agreement has been surprisingly effective in the past, today it is faced with not only serious challenges but also great opportunities to improve in the future. The authors explore 13 research questions: 1. How do contextual factors in the existing security environment impact on the effectiveness of the Vienna Document's CSBMs? 2. To what extent are the main objectives of the agreement being met? 3. To what extent are the norms and rules being complied with? 4. How effective are the Vienna Document's CSBMs during military crises and conflicts? 5. How effective are the Vienna Document's CSBMs with regard to internal armed conflicts? 6. What should be done about non-compliance? 7. How are the benefits of cooperation distributed among the participating states? 8. How are CSBMs perceived from the power perspective of each participating state? 9. How cost effective is implementing the rules in the CSBM agreement? 10. What are the core strengths and weaknesses of the CSBM process, the ways to improve it in the future and the potential threats to the process? 11. What can we learn about this agreement's effectiveness during the current military crisis in Ukraine? 12. To what degree do the effectiveness and modernisation of the Vienna Document's CSBM process depend on the scenarios for European security in the future? 13. Is the 'cyberisation' of the Vienna Document's CSBMs required in the present security environment to maintain the agreement's effectiveness? --
"This study addresses the potential contribution of confidence- and security-building measures (CSBMs) toward their goal of building confidence and security in Europe. First, the report surveys and discusses various publicly stated U.S. or NATO objectives for CSBMs, distilling these to three core objectives: inhibiting the threatened use of force for political intimidation, reducing misunderstanding/miscalculation, and making surprise attack less likely. It then describes the original NATO package of CSBMs, which consisted of six measures presented in January 1984 at the Conference on Disarmament in Europe (CDE) in Stockholm, analyzing and evaluating that package in the context of U.S./NATO objectives for CSBMs. Finally, it identifies several potential options available to the West for the future development of CSBM packages within the CDE. The study includes a brief summary of the main elements in both the original NATO package and the concluding document (reproduced in an appendix) of the Stockholm conference."--Rand abstracts.
This timely book considers the topical issue of the enlargement processes of the European Union and NATO. This book is an essential resource for those academics interested in the development of the European Union.
