Industry Reviews

'Meyer's book is the first major study of European strategic culture to be published and as such merits serious reflection by scholars...he has trailblazed a highly productive and indicative theoretical-empirical approach to the understanding of this important concept' - Professor Jolyon Howorth in Security and Defence Policy in the European Union

'Meyer provides a timely and well researched picture of European strategic culture and ESDP potential, and is to be commended for his attempts at analysing the infinitely tougher connection between the two' - Amelia Hadfield, University of Kent in Journal of Common Market Studies

'Meyer's approach to the issue of the much-debated creation of a European strategic culture is important in that it enhances the adopted theoretical positions, and brings a rigorous and accurate input to the sometimes rather essayistic discussion...this is a very solid and accurate study that adds important theoretic and empirical inputs to the current discussion. Its ideas and arguments are solidly exposed and reveal a thorough approach to the issues of strategy, security and defence in the EU' - Bruno Martin in European Foreign Affairs Review
