Common Security

In 1999, soon after the European Union member states had decided to establish the European Security and Defence Policy, the processes of appointing adequate tools for its accomplishment also started. Decisions were made to create organs and institutions and to elaborate appropriate procedures which would enable fast and precise decision-making of planning and conduct in the field of security and defence. Since that time the European Union and its Security and Defence Policy have evolved in many aspects and are still evolving. Security researchers currently attempt to provide the answer to an important problem: what are the trends characterising changes in the Common Security and Defence Policy of the European Union. The author, basing on research and own experiences of work in the politico-strategic planning structures of the European External Action Service, analyses current trends in the Common Security and Defence Policy, especially regarding the evolution of the Union’s organs and institutions, crisis management procedures, implementation of comprehensive approach and tendencies in the newly-deployed missions. This material is a result of extensive discussions and consultations conducted within a broad international and interinstitutional crisis management environment. It is based on interviews with high-level subject-related personnel and the listed bibliography

Common Security

The UK has traditionally played an ambivalent role in European security and defence policymaking. With Brexit, the EU loses one of its two serious military players. On the other hand, it has been liberated from the constraints imposed by London on the Common Security and Defence Policy, and this has created a new dynamism behind the defence project. There has been comparatively little commentary on the defence implications of Brexit, and the UK has been less than forthcoming in making concrete proposals for an ongoing UK-EU partnership. Both sides assert that they wish to maintain a strong cooperative relationship after Brexit, but the outlines of such an arrangement remain very unclear. This article suggests that the UK will have more to lose than the EU from any failure to reach agreement, and that UK ambivalence about links between the Common Security and Defence Policy and NATO will prove to be a major sticking point.

<p>El motor fundamental del proyecto europeo ha sido la integración política como vía para mantener y desarrollar la posición y proyección de los países europeos en el plano internacional de las naciones y facilitar objetivos políticos, económicos y estratégicos a corto, medio y largo plazo. La trayectoria que ofrece hoy la política mundial, en el fondo, muestra que la profundización en el ideal de unión política es el único medio para que, en el futuro, Europa siga teniendo un rol de primer nivel en el marco internacional. Este trabajo analiza esta cuestión y, además, en qué grado y forma la Política Exterior y de Seguridad Común (The Common Foreign and Security Policy) y la Política Común de Seguridad y Defensa (Common Security and Defence Policy) suponen instrumentos necesarios en este sentido</p>
