Summary
The division of Europe into two blocs, each heavily armed and fearing the other, was the icon of the Cold War. Even though the Cold War has ended and the ideological and military fault lines that divided Europe have crumbled, a stable new order is far from clear.To discuss and exchange ideas about the future of Europe, a group of about fifty students and faculty members at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign met on a Saturday morning in January, just prior to the beginning of the 1992 spring semester. The setting was a campus workshop organized by the Program in Arms Control, Disarmament, and International Security; the Russian and East European Center; and the Committee for European Studies.
Articles derived from the papers presented to the workshop are featured in this special, double issue of Swords and Ploughshares, together with the review of a recent book on a closely related topic. Articles from the workshop are grouped under three broad themes: Issues of Economic Integration, German Reunification, and Post-Soviet Issues.
