Inhoud
Common European security operations often tend to be regarded as part of a development that only started with the arrival of the UN, NATO and the EU in the second half of the 20th century. Many experts are inclined to overlook that already after the Vienna Conference in 1815 serious efforts were undertaken to establish transnational European security regimes.
 
In this tutorial we will compare a series of underexposed but fascinating European security missions, mechanisms and institutions from the 19th century to relevant examples from the 20th and 21st centuries, ranging from military and policing missions to international courts and conventions. We will focus on their development and ask ourselves when and how security regimes started to emerge. At the same time we will use an international and historical comparative framework to determine what has actually changed since the 19th century and whether European states learned from their experiences.
 
This tutorial offers you the opportunity to find your way through hardly discovered territory. The underlying idea is to sharpen your analytical skills even more in order to prepare you for writing a 20 EC research thesis at an expert plus level. If you have set your eyes on a research career in the field of International Relations, this tutorial is a must.
