Although Europeanization is a relatively new concept, the roots of the idea of the
Europeanization of security in Western Europe go back to the early days of the
European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and became manifest after the demise of
the USSR, which marked the end of the Cold War.1
Therefore, the process of European
integration can also be seen as a Europeanization of the security culture of European
Union (EU) member states. This Europeanization is a transition from the classical
perception of security, based on state-centric high politics (achieving security by
military power), to a modern one, that is giving priority to low politics (achieving
security by non-military power, through economic and political integration). Hence, the
Europeanization of security is actually a process of de-securitization which eliminates
security and insecurity concerns from perception. However, non-military security
problems and dynamics can also be present in that de-securitization.
