Summary/Abstract: This chapter has presented general survey of common perspectives influencing the security thinking and security policies of a number of European Social Democratic parties in the late 1970s and early 1980s. A more comprehensive analysis of developments within Social Democratic security thinking will need to focus on the influence of security policy think tanks and the antinuclear weapons movement of the late 1970s and early1980s, in particular the END (European Nuclear Disarmament) movement.99Also, a comprehensive investigation should focus on the security thinking among liberal conservative parties, not only in Europe but also in the United States.
