Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International demand for military crisis-management missions continues to grow and demand for troops continues to outstrip supply. Like other Western democracies, European Union member states, because of their wealth, relative military competence and commitment to human rights, bear a particular responsibility to expand the international community�s capacity for action. But while the EU has succeeded in defining a complex military-technical and political-strategic framework to boost its role and that of its member states in crisis management, its performance so far has fallen well short of its ambitions. This paper analyses what the EU wants to be able to do militarily � its level of ambition � and contrasts this aspiration with the current reality. To explain the gap between the two, the paper examines national ambitions and performance across the EU and analyses their domestic determinants using the examples of Austria, Germany and the United Kingdom. The paper concludes by suggesting that the EU might need to strike a new balance between the inclusiveness and the effectiveness of its activities in this area if it wants to increase its military crisis-management performance and live up to its declared ambitions.

Book Synopsis The EU's Military Crisis Management Operations by : Miguel Acosta Sanchez
Download or read book The EU's Military Crisis Management Operations written by Miguel Acosta Sanchez and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to analyse the EU's international crisis management capabilities, particularly its military dimension, using what are known as the Petersberg tasks. These capabilities' legal framework is part of Europe's new security and defence context in international relations. In our book we analyse the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) in the EU Treaty, and the relations between the EU and WEU and NATO; the conception, institutional structure and legal basis of so called Petersberg tasks; the practice of this kind of operations in international crisis management; we also analyse the civilian crisis management tasks in order to identify common points and divergences with regard to military actions, and finally we describe the Petersberg tasks' future prospects, with special references to the EU's military-civilian capabilities. Our ultimate goal is to identify, systematise and conduct a legal study of EU military operations, in order to grasp the scope of its involvement in international security and peace-keeping issues, and obtain the keys that explain the current situation as well as future prospects.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just like after WWI and WWII, we are now facing the dawn of a new strategic era, a "Zeitenwende” in Europe. We need to assess what metamorphosis the European Union needs to undergo in terms of defence and security to become a relevant actor in crisis situations when size and defence matter. WeThis paper focuses on the “non Art. 5” EU crisis management policy, which now also needs to be expanded , in particular in terms of specific capacities required for this purpose. The maxim “Qui peut le plus (territorial defence) peut le moins (peace-keeping and peace-enforcement operations)” does not apply here.
Book Synopsis Facing War: Rethinking Europe’s Security and Defence by : Serena Giusti
Download or read book Facing War: Rethinking Europe’s Security and Defence written by Serena Giusti and published by Ledizioni. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia’s attack on Ukraine has sent shockwaves across Europe and the world. While the current war is a geopolitical turning point, it remains unclear whether it will trigger a quantum leap forward for European defence policies and for the role of the European Union as a security provider. This Report investigates whether we can expect a further convergence of European strategic cultures, and on collaboration among Europeans to generate the required military capabilities and integrate their forces. Most importantly, it finds that the timely implementation of the EU’s Strategic Compass will be a decisive test to establish whether Europeans are rising to the challenge of taking more responsibility for their security and defence.

Download or read book Defending Europe written by J. Howorth and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-04-18 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defending Europe seeks to clarify the competing ambitions, the contrasting visions and the trans-Atlantic tensions related to the recent quest by Europe for autonomy in the sphere of security and defense. Scholars from both sides of the Atlantic explore the development of ESDI within NATO, the revival of the WEU and the launch of the EU's Common European Security and Defense Policy. Among the issues discussed are the Euro-American capabilities gap, concerns regarding decoupling, discrimination, and duplication, and the complications posed by NATO/EU enlargement. Two contrary conclusions debate whether ESDP is more likely to strengthen or undermine the Atlantic Alliance. This informative foray into the trans-Atlantic security and defense issues is a crucial addition to the ongoing dialogue concerning this shifting and evolving relationship.

Book Synopsis Ambitions Versus Capabilities by : Miguel C. Goodpasture
Download or read book Ambitions Versus Capabilities written by Miguel C. Goodpasture and published by . This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) represents a long- term project on the part of the European Union (EU) members to perform a broad range of operations, including crisis management, peacekeeping and peacemaking, known as the Petersberg Tasks. The EU's goal is to develop capabilities for autonomous military action in crises in the event that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as a whole is not engaged. Progress in developing capabilities necessary to support the ESDP has, however, been disappointing. Indeed, there is currently a mismatch between EU capabilities and ambitions. The shortcomings in EU capabilities reflect Cold War procurement and military planning as well as an unwillingness of most of the EU governments to spend more on defense. Although increasing military budgets would help to reduce the mismatch, EU members would also have to improve the efficiency with which funds are spent. This would require changes in the EU's military-industrial base, procurement policy, technology acquisition and R&D practices as well as in enhanced transatlantic cooperation. Achieving the goals of the ESDP will also require the EU member nations to deepen their consensus about their purposes and thereby reduce the many ambiguities that currently surround the ESDP.
Book Synopsis The Common European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) by : Edward G. Gunning
Download or read book The Common European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) written by Edward G. Gunning and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the United States continues to adjust to its role in the post-Cold War world, the transatlantic partnership remains fundamental to US security concerns. Commander Gunning[alpha]s paper is a wake-up call suggesting that Europe is concerned about US intransigence when it comes the security partnership with Europe. While the United States has often encouraged the Europeans to improve capabilities and take on a greater share of the defensive burden, their recent efforts to do so have often been viewed as paradoxical to US concerns. Policymakers on this side of the Atlantic worry that Europe in some ways is moving towards going it alone with the development of the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP). Still, US desires for increased burdensharing need to be reconciled with ESDP. Commander Gunning highlights these differences and spells out how, in his opinion, it is possible for the United States to remain engaged in Europe and to allow the European Union to develop its own defense identity. The differences of opinion between the two sides are more "speed bumps" than "road blocks" and some disagreement and frustration is to be expected. The conclusion here is that security interests on both sides of the Atlantic will be served in the long run by encouraging the development of a more autonomous European defense capability and through American patience as that process unfolds."--Forward.
Book Synopsis EU Foreign Policy and Crisis Management Operations by : Benjamin Pohl
Download or read book EU Foreign Policy and Crisis Management Operations written by Benjamin Pohl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the drivers of the EU’s recent forays into peace- and state-building operations. Since the Union’s European (now Common) Security and Defence Policy (ESDP/CSDP) became operational in 2003, the EU has conducted more than 20 civilian and military operations that broadly served to either deter aggression in host countries, and/or to build or strengthen the rule of law. This sudden burst of EU activity in the realm of external security is interesting from both a scholarly and a policy perspective. On one hand, institutionalised cooperation in the field of foreign, security and defence policy challenges the mainstream in IR theory which holds that in such sovereignty-sensitive areas cooperation would necessarily be limited. On the other hand, the sheer quantity of operations suggests that the ESDP may represent a potentially significant feature of global governance. In order to understand the drivers behind CSDP, EU Foreign Policy and Crisis Management Operations analyses the policy output in this area, including the operations conducted in the CSDP framework. Up until now, many studies inferred the logic behind CSDP from express intentions, institutional developments and (the potential of) pooled capabilities. By mining the rich data that CSDP operations represent in terms of the motives and ambitions of EU governments for the CSDP, this book advances our understanding of the framework at large. This book will be of much interest to students of European Security, EU policy, peacebuilding, statebuilding, and IR.
Book Synopsis Cooperation by Committee by : Mai'a K. Davis Cross
Download or read book Cooperation by Committee written by Mai'a K. Davis Cross and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the examples of the Civilian Crisis Management Committee (Civcom) and EU Military Committee (EUMC), in order to shed light on the transgovernmental dynamic within the field of Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), the EU's cornerstone policy mechanism for crisis response in third countries. Provides insight into the transgovernmental processes of Member States' permanent representations, suggesting that committees can be dynamic, distinctive, and influential in their roles. The expertise, culture, meeting frequency, and norms of the two committees are compared, and the way in which how these factors influence their overall internal dynamic is analysed. Taking a sociological-institutionalist approach, the author suggests that the group dynamics, shared norms, and evolving worldviews within these committees contribute, at least in part, to whether consensus is possible.
Book Synopsis Electronic Warfare by : Ilias Panagopoulos
Download or read book Electronic Warfare written by Ilias Panagopoulos and published by . This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Maastricht Treaty renamed the European Community the European Union (EU) and shaped the EU's three pillars. Pillar two, the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), promoted cooperation among member states in foreign policy affairs. It also introduced the need to develop a common European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) that aimed at providing police and military capabilities to the CFSP. This idea represented a new element in the European integration process. ESDP was launched formally in June 1999, establishing ESDP's mission on the three Petersberg Tasks: (1) humanitarian and evacuation missions, (2) peacekeeping missions, and (3) combat missions for crisis management. The European Council agreed that the EU needed the capacity for autonomous action backed by credible military forces ready to respond to international crises without prejudice to actions by NATO. Thus, in Dec 1999, the European Rapid Reaction Force (RRF) was formed. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the development of the ESDP and to stress the need to consider Electronic Warfare (EW) as a militarily critical technology. The need for common operational concepts, doctrines, and training, especially in EW, becomes a necessity as Joint EU Armed Forces become ready to manage regional and international crises. However, a study of ESDP's current status shows that EW has been addressed but not properly emphasized. To demonstrate EW's weight, an imaginary scenario called "Save Atlantia 2008" was created in which the Improved Many-on-Many (IMOM) software program was used to simulate EW effects. Specifically, the IMOM program was used to model the radar and tactical jamming system of the Joint European Air Force to determine its effectiveness against several radar early warning systems. A section describes the military capabilities of the EU and the nations that have taken the lead in those areas, including AAR, UAVs, CSAR, NBC protection, TBMD, and ISTAR.
