This is a timely a well written text which insightfully addresses Europe’s contemporary foreign and security policy challenges and its potential for dealing with them effectively. * Ben Tonra, University College Dublin, Ireland * Security in the 21st Century Europe (3rd edition) is a comprehensive treatment of its subject. The book comprises chapters on key areas of European security, policies, institutions, and security identities. The scholarship behind the book is considerable and is made accessible to the reader with case studies. The book should be read by all advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students on International Relations and European Studies programmes. * Neil Winn, University of Leeds, UK * This book is the key resource I use in my class for teaching contemporary European security. It is well written, comprehensive and authored by the foremost expert on the subject. I recommend this book not only to undergraduate students, but also to more mature students as well as those who would like to get a solid introduction to European security today. * Kamil Zwolski, University of Southampton, UK * A comprehensive and cogent assessment. The liberal security order from which Europe has benefitted has come under challenge from Covid, economic difficulties, and then Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Andrew Cottey explains why it would be best if it survived without being quite sure that it will. * Lawrence Freedman, King's College London, UK *
