It intends to present a small contribution concerning the political interests that guided member states on the issue of monetary cooperation, since the so-called "Snake" to the European monetary system, and later on the creation of the Monetary Union. Then it concentrates on the Euro crisis, trying to identify the interests that prevailed on what was done by the area countries to overcome the current crisis, and also on what remains to be done. It ends up with a brief reflection on the political effects of the crisis on the EU balance of power. Adapted from the source document.

Although its visibility was greatly enhanced by the 9/l1 attacks, the EU cooperation in the field of counterterrorism began in the 1970s. Then, as now, the rhetoric was much inflated & there was a marked gap between the politicians' rhetoric & the adoption of effective measures. The first section of this article traces the evolution of the European counter-terrorist cooperation & tries to assess the motives, as well as the limitations, behind the main initiatives. The second part examines the balance between the demands of the counter-terrorist efforts & the preservation of human rights & the rule of law. This is an issue whose relevance has become evident not only in domestic terms, but also in the field of the EU external relations. The EU policy towards the Mediterranean Arab states will help to illustrate these dilemmas. Adapted from the source document.

This article presents an overview of the current state of affairs of the EU-Israel relations and contributes to an expansion of the research agenda of this field. With a focus on the social and political developments of the last five years, it argues that this relationship exhibits patterns of cooperation and conflict, and attraction and repulsion. The remarkable importance that the EU has for Israel in the domains of economy, trade, science and culture is not matched by an equivalent political leverage, despite EU's efforts in influencing regional political developments, mainly the ones regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Departing from this context, the article critically engages with the literature and presents avenues for further inquiry on this topic. Adapted from the source document.

An evaluation of Argentine, Brazilian and Chilean cooperation on security policies over the last decade demonstrates that high levels of trust have been sustained. This article proposes a heuristic model for the analysis of cooperation between states on matters of security policy. The model that is suggested is based on three levels of analysis that condition the security policies of the countries under consideration: 1) State and society; 2) inter-state relations and 3) international systems. Next, it is argued that common rules shared by different countries are more easily established when this involves small groups of states at a regional level, and not at a world scale, in which it is much more difficult to achieve unanimous or consensual acceptance of rules. Following a macro-theoretical debate on states' motivation to cooperate in an international system, the author introduces Karl W. Deutsch's concept of "security community" and questions whether such a community can be found in southern Latin America. The heuristic model that is introduced should permit answering the questions posed and determine the phase of integration.

The relations between the United States & China were heading towards a second cold war before September 11. In a sense, the priority changes in American strategy & the focus on the struggle against the threat of catastrophic terrorism & nuclear proliferation created an opportunity for security cooperation between the two great powers. The Chinese strategy on "peaceful rise" is a response to this new situation aiming at consolidating external conditions favourable to China's international recovery. However, the factors of strategic competition have not disappeared & they have been aggravated by competition for energy resources & by regional rivalries not only in Eastern Asia, but also in South & Central Asia & in the Middle East.

The article argues in favor of the European Constitution from a Portuguese perspective. Adoption of the Constitution would guarantee that an enlarged EU would enjoy a major political cohesion, that democracy would be heightened & refined in the member states, & that government throughout the EU would become more effective & efficient. While these three reasons are ample enough for the Constitution to be adopted, there are many more reasons that are specific to the position of Portugal. Increased integration with the rest of Europe would bring to Portugal advantages in terms of greater economic development, better modeling of democratic institutions, & an improved ability to meet all of the unpredictable challenges of the new millennium.

The aim of this article is to analyze Brazil's foreign policy towards the South American region during President Lula's administration. As such, the article intends to highlight two specific dimensions: the extent to which foreign policy during this period has differed from previous periods and the relative importance granted by Brazilian diplomacy to recent cooperation and integration efforts, more specifically the Unasur and Mercosur. The article argues that the Lula administration has behaved differently from its predecessors by prioritizing the building up of Brazilian leadership in South America on several different fronts, especially by strengthening multilateral institutions in the region.

Presente Special Issue aims to analyze the narratives and practices of internal security in your internal / external connections. The complexity of risks and threats have questioned the conceptualizations, policies and organic, based on a rigid separation between internal and external security. In response to transnational challenges, the state actor has diversified palette of cooperatives mechanisms: institutionalized interstate cooperation; of security regimes; co-operation between state actors and private actors; networks transgovernmental relations. In summary, we can identify three aspects of the nexus in / out: 'internalization of external phenomena incidence; externalization of internal phenomena initially incidence; phenomena of cross-border nature.' Regarding the externalization of internal security, it is therefore associated with the missions of international transnational criminal activities, the explicit goals of internal security in foreign policies, the interstate cooperatives and transgovernmental mechanisms in the field of internal security and police in situations of post-conflict.
