Editor's Notes
- Have been living in the gap since at least 1989 (RAND/UCLA) Quite personal and idiosyncratic take on this, influenced by my own experiences at RAND, SWP, ISS/(W)EU, now 10 years in Holland (uniquely propitious microclimate for this, certainly in Europe, even though it’s still far from perfect) and my observations over the past 20 years Foreign policy writ large – beyond the stovepipes, comprehensive approach => foreign and security policy Second attempt at this – seminar at WEU-ISS in 99
- Integrative
- There IS a window, but will not happen automatically; need for a lubricant (EU-ISS ideally placed for this)
