The course analyzes intelligence issues in 21st Century Europe. Your studies will focus on such issues as terrorism and crime, averting conflict, stabilizing failed states, deterring rogues, transition and reform, intra-alliance relationships, limiting potential threats, consolidating reform and reshaping the alliance. For most of the five decades following World War II, Europe was distinctly divided into east and west. Eastern Europe, dominated by the Soviet Union, remained economically depressed, while Western Europe prospered. Although the Soviet Union had been allied with many of the countries of Western Europe as well as the United States during the war, the West remained suspicious of the intentions of the communists. This suspicion, coupled with the Soviet intervention and military takeover in Eastern Europe, encouraged Western Europe to band together to ensure the West?s continuing political and economic independence and growth. To further these ends, six countries--West Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg--formed the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1951. In 1958, these same six nations formed the European Economic Community (EEC), also known as the Common Market, to promote the gradual integration and growth of the Western European countries. By the mid-1980s, six more nations--the United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Spain and Portugal--had joined the EEC. Finally, the course explores the expanding gulf between Europe and U.S. as the U.S responds to the war on terrorism. |
