The European Union (EU) faces many crises and risks to its security and existence. While few of them threaten the lives of EU citizens, they all create a sense of anxiety and insecurity about the future for many ordinary Europeans.
It is now more than a decade since the concept of “ontological security” was introduced into International Relations (IR) in order to better understand the “security of being” found in feelings of fear, anxiety, crisis, and threat to wellbeing.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal European Security.
