| dc.description.abstract | The thesis employs Deutsch's theory of security communities and regime theory in order to contribute to an understanding of the role of the OSCE in the European security architecture. It is found that while much of the language used to describe the institutionalisation and role of the OSCE is that of regime theory, Deutsch's theory of security communities, and especially the conditions which contribute to the formation of a security community, provides an understanding of the idealism which drives the OSCE and thus of the role which it plays in contributing to "soft" security in Europe. | en_US |
