European Security is a forum for discussing challenges and approaches to security - broadly defined - within Europe and for Europe in a global context.

It seeks to publish critical analyses of policies of, and developments in, European institutions and member states, their relations with European and other immediate neighbours, and their relations with the wider world, including regional and international organisations. It is also interested in non-European perspectives on Europe in a global context.

Whilst the Journal is particularly interested in stimulating debate between varied theoretical approaches, it strongly encourages to policy debates on topical issues.

Within this broad framework the journal invites submissions in the following areas:

• Security aspects of previous and anticipated institutional enlargements
• The European Neighbourhood Policy
• CFSP and EDSP (processes, objectives and implementation)
• The transformation of NATO
• Transatlantic and European armaments co-operation
• European approaches to non-proliferation of weapons (conventional; WMD)
• Transatlantic relations
• Developments in national defence policies
• Combating organised crime
• Counterterrorism
• People trafficking
• Human Rights
• European experiences and capacities for conflict prevention, crisis intervention and post-conflict reconstruction
• Challenges and approaches to energy security
• Environmental issues
