Abstract

This chapter explains the nature of continuity between international functionalism and the popular contemporary research programme on European security governance. The first section elaborates on the relationship between functionalism and the ‘security governance’ research programme, focusing on the questions concerning territoriality, geopolitical boundaries, function, and service. Subsequently, the chapter elaborates on the notions of governance and security governance, contrasting the concept with the related ideas of security community and regimes. The third section demonstrates how we can apply the security governance concept to the EU’s flagship approach to CBRN proliferation, CBRN Centres of Excellence. The fourth section brings to the fore the question of politics and values, while the final section returns to the main question of this volume, reassessing security governance’s take on territoriality and geopolitical boundaries.
