This concept highlights how the relationships among these three actors may, on some issues, be closely related. A central question also follows directly from the use of the notion of the triangle: does the EU have actor capability in this policy sphere or will it get it in the future? The reason this is so important for our project is that only if the Union is regarded by the two other actors, and regards itself, as an actor in security policy does the strategic triangle really exists. Consequently, this book has a strong focus upon the development of the actor capability of the Union. In the case of the United States, it examines to what extent the concept of the strategic triangle has significance under each of five grand strategies that serve as alternative visions of the superpower's role in the world. 606 $aMilitary history 615 0$aMilitary history. 676 $a904.7 700 $aKarlsson$b Ha?kan$0923793 702 $aHallenberg$b Jan 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476797903321 996 $aChanging Transatlantic Security Relations$93363720 997 $aUNINA LEADER 08762nam 2200493 450 001 9910739488903321 005 20221230103443.0 010 $a3-031-05871-2 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7026818 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7026818 035 $a(CKB)24100628200041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924100628200041 100 $a20221230d2022 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aHuman awareness, energy and environmental attitudes /$fBoris Abers?ek and Andrej Flogie 210 1$aCham, Switzerland :$cSpringer,$d[2022] 210 4$dİ2022 215 $a1 online resource (253 pages) 300 $aIncludes index. 311 08$aPrint version: Abersek, Boris Human Awareness, Energy and Environmental Attitudes Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022 9783031058707 327 $aIntro -- Abstracts -- Book Review by Matej Vesenjak -- Book Review by Stanislav Avsec -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Contents -- Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: A Philosophical View -- 1 What Is True and What Isn´t?
