The essays address the key questions currently confronting Europe seeking to provide a broad-based introduction to the post-millennial politics of this complex continent. These questions are addressed on three levels: first, at the level of the major institutions which straddle large parts of Europe - NATO, and the OSCE, and the E.U.; second, from the perspective of a large sample of European countries, including parts of the former Soviet Union; and third, with regard to the economic, cultural, and social dimensions of European society, both East and West.
