Abstract. The article considers whether the EU’s CSDP missions are a suitable crisis management mechanism for post-conflict situations, along with the EU’s relevance in crisis management at all. For this purpose, the EU’s biggest CSDP civilian mission EULEX was chosen as a research case study. The research results reveal that EULEX has not implemented its mandate, not met the expectations of security consumers, not made any difference on the ground, and cannot be seen as an example the EU should rely on in its future missions. Further, EULEX shows that CSDP missions suffer from many shortfalls and the EU CFSP from a capability–expectations gap. The article concludes that the EULEX mission does not show the EU’s relevance in the crisis management of post-conflict situations.

<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>

The exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union (so-called Brexit) is one of the most important events in the process of European integration. It has a lot of extremely remarkable implications – both for the EU and for the United Kingdom. Among other, Brexit will affect the security of the United Kingdom and the EU. The aim of the study is to answer the research question: how will Britain’s exit from the EU influence the EU common security and defence policy? In order to answer this question, the factors that are most relevant to the United Kingdom’s significance for the EU’s security and defence policy will be identified. This will show how the EU’s potential of the security and defence policy will change, when the UK leaves this organisation. The most important conclusions are included in the summary.
