Öz

This article is about how change at the international system level has
produced those political outcomes rcIatcd to sccurity and defence desil:,rnin the
ı990s Europe. il is both a description and evaluation of the way the
European security arcna has changcd as wcll as an attcmpt to comc to terms
with the process that kd ta 'internalisation' of system change. By using the
term 'internalisation' we mcan the process, or better, the causal reJationship
betwccn system change and policy response. Our argument is that the nature
of the post-Cold War systemic reality has bccn instrumental in sustaining
and even inereasing actars' faith in co-opcrative frameworks and in further
collcctive behaviour and interaction in European sccurity and defence.
