"The objective of the book is to provide a comparative analysis of executive-legislature relations in the security domain and the changes that have occurred in the last two decades. It therefore provides a theoretical framework for the process of European security cooperation to help the reader to understand the complexities of the decision-making process in each country." "This informative book will be essential reading for students of international relations, economics, European politics and comparative studies."--BOOK JACKET.
