Assessing the success of EU-OSCE cooperation: a case of mutualism? [Paunov]

Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between the European Union (EU) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), with a particular focus on the restart in cooperation occurring at the turn of the century. This was due to the rediscovery of the organisations’ common past, shared values, similar goals, the drawing of identical security strategies and an increased field presence in the same regions. The EU-OSCE relationship has not been without its shortcomings, but the successes of the cooperation have outnumbered the various hurdles. Furthermore, the relationship can be classified as a case of mutualism, as both partners have benefited therefrom.
