DOWNLOAD EBOOKLancée en 1950, l'idée de créer une Communauté Européenne de Défense (CED) est contemporaine de celle de fonder une Communauté Européenne du Charbon et de l'Acier (CECA). Mais le projet est une gageure. Il heurte les cultures nationales en matière de défense, suscite de violentes réactions dues à la perspective de voir se côtoyer des ennemis d'hier au sein des mêmes unités, déclenche l'opposition à la standardisation du matériel, hérisse les adversaires d'une liaison entre la CED et la construction d'une Europe politique. Devant une telle variété de facteurs visant à expliquer la mort du projet, le 30 août 1954, certains ont parlé d'un «meurtre collectif». Page d'histoire, le projet de CED et son échec n'en constituent pas moins, aujourd'hui, une référence qui donne matière à réflexion sur cette question que l'on se plaît à considérer comme vitale pour l'avenir de l'Europe: la sécurité commune. In 1950, in parallel with the plans for the foundation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), there first grew the idea for creating a European Defence Community (EDC). But the project was not a success. It conflicted with the various national defence cultures, sparked off violent reactions against the alignment of former enemies within a single unit, unleashed opposition to the standardisation of equipment, and raised the hackles of those opposed to a bond between the EDC and the construction of a political Europe. In the face of so many different factors contributing to the project's death on 30 August 1954, there was even talk in certain quarters of a «collective murder». As an important event in history, the EDC project and its failure still have echoes today, causing us all to ponder a question which is universally considered as crucial to the future of Europe: a common security policy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis full-term study of the Western European Union (WEU) brings to life the history of Europe’s search for a co-operative security and defence order, from its post World War II origins to the present day. Establishing the WEU as a support organization, designed to promote the two security "ideas" of collective defence and integration through the primary organizations of Alliance and Community, this book offers a window onto the challenges faced in the development and management of NATO and the evolving EC/EU over time. As the WEU’s historical journey unfolds, the frequently competing visions of the future organization of the European security space are exposed in the fluctuating nature of its own functional evolution and devolution. A hybrid organization driven by its dual support role, the constructively ambiguous and conveniently autonomous WEU was to provide a mechanism through which divergent interests could converge and inherent tensions be relieved, preventing NATO and EC/EU stagnation. This book offers fresh insight into the means by which the gradual transformation of the institutional framework of European security was enabled, and stakes the WEU’s claim as a fundamental and life-long contributor to the stability of the European security system.
