The security predicament of Europe is very different from ten years
ago and the solution is still far from clear. Changing concepts of
security have acquired new roles in the thinking in European and
global institutions and have, in turn, been transformed by these
roles. Economic, ecological and societal security have grown in
importance. The agenda of peace research has always included the
issues of peace and war, changes in armaments and the possibilities
of conversion. Other questions, such as patterns of dominance and
dependence were added later. There are also recent themes calling
for new priorities. One of these is the implications for the prevention,
management and resolution of conflicts of the fact that most major
conflicts in Europe today have strong ethnic components. Another is
the rapid and unprecedented transformation of societies in Central
and Eastern Europe, and the actual and potential relations among
them.
