European horizons of diplomatic/military relations - London: The Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1999 - 62p.

Restates lessons of an earlier paper, 'Strategy, Force Planning and Diplomatic/Military Operations (DMOs)', which explored the domestic British implications of giving a higher status to DMOs, and then applies these to the European context. Argues that, at the turn of the century, the strategic and military dimensions of future European security are being shaped more by NATO than by Brussels and offers a view about why the European Union has experienced such a power failure in foreign policy. Highlights the risks of allowing NATO to become over-burdened and offers pointers to opportunities for shaping a practical 'bottom-up' approach to future European security challenges.
