EUROPEAN SECURITY IN NATO’S SHADOW
PARTY IDEOLOGIES AND INSTITUTION
BUILDING
Stephanie Hofmann
NATO has been a successful forum for managing European security policy. Yet European governments
have repeatedly tried to build a new security institution in NATO’s shadow. In this innovative
book, Stephanie Hofmann asks why governments attempted to create an additional institution
despite no obvious functional necessity, and why some attempts failed while others succeeded.
European Security in NATO’s Shadow considers security cooperation through the lens of party ideologies
to shed new light on these questions. The author observes that political parties are motivated
to propose new institutions by their multi-dimensional ideologies. Moreover, the success of efforts
to create such institutions depends on the degree of ideological congruence among parties in power.
In particular, the relationship between the values of multilateralism, sovereignty and Europe informed
the impetus and success rate of the attempts made during negotiations for the Maastricht, Amsterdam
and Nice treaties to create a European security institution.

GLOBAL HEALTH DIPLOMACY
CONCEPTS, ISSUES, ACTORS,
INSTRUMENTS, FORA AND CASES
Edited by Ilona Kickbusch, Graham Lister, Michaela Told, and Nick Drager
Social and environmental crises, global trade and politics, and major epidemics are making public
health a pressing global concern. From this constantly changing scenario, global health diplomacy
has evolved at the intersection of public health, international relations, law, economics, and management.
It is a new discipline with transformative potential.
Global health diplomacy relates to health issues that cross national boundaries, are global in nature
and require collective action to address them. It has become a complex undertaking demanding new
skills from diplomats and health officials. This textbook is a response to these new needs: it attempts
to share the knowledge and experience of practicing officials and academics working in this evolving
field to develop the art and science of global health diplomacy.
