metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article analyses the role of the CSCE/OSCE in the shaping of European security. The
  1975 Helsinki Final Act put forward a broad understanding of security, implying economic,
  societal and other non-traditional dimensions of security, which was an innovation at the
  time, and promoted the idea of comprehensive security. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the end
  of the Soviet Union were understood then as an opportunity for promoting the “Common European
  home” principles as put forward by Gorbachev. This new context conferred a renewed
  sense of belonging to the “wide Europe” with no dividing walls. However, European security
  evolved differently; with different understandings and perceptions about the “other” taking
  shape, and creating lines of dissension in the articulation of an inclusive security order sought
  by the OSCE. The article argues the OSCE had difficulties in adjusting to the new postCold
  War security context, providing a mixed assessment of the organisation’s role in European
  security. This is so due to several factors, including the working rules of the organisation, the
  role and positioning of Russia within and towards the OSCE, and the drawing of the European
  security architecture around NATO and what this means to the OSCE as a piece in the
  European security puzzle.
