The EU's Common Security and Defence Policy

More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy from 2001 to 2016, the book highlights a shift towards civilian security provision over military strategies. It emphasizes the role of transnational expert communities in driving this change and introduces key concepts such as security sector reform and civilian crisis management. By examining how these frameworks were implemented and their varying outcomes, the author explores the transformation of security understanding and the influence of epistemic communities in policy development.
