Book Synopsis The European Union and Humanitarian Crises by : Francesca Pusterla
Download or read book The European Union and Humanitarian Crises written by Francesca Pusterla and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades international organisations, national governments, and governmental and private actors have all multiplied their efforts to limit the extent to which natural catastrophes, man-made atrocities and political and economic breakdowns affect civil populations. The European Union and Humanitarian Crises: Patterns of Intervention addresses the allocation of foreign aid within the framework of the European Union’s Humanitarian Aid policy and analyses different Member States’ intervention strategies designed to cope with these emergencies. Joining the debate about bilateral and multilateral allocation of foreign aid in crisis situations and exploring the cooperative actions undertaken by the European Union and its Member States to cope with them the book questions how the context of the crises themselves impacts on strategies of intervention and investigates how strategies change depending on the characteristics of the crisis.

Download or read book European Solidarity with the Victims of Humanitarian Crises written by European Commission and published by Luxembourg : European Commission. This book was released on 2002 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, more and more people are the victims of humanitarian crises - whether man-made conflicts or natural disasters. The worst hit are civilians, and in particular the most vulnerable sectors of society. As a result, Europe has an ever more crucial role to play in bringing relief to those who suffer. As crises have proliferated across the world over the last decade, the EU has stepped up its humanitarian and reconstruction activities. In the course of the year 2000, ECHO, the EU service responsible for humanitarian aid, provided assistance to more than 18 million people in need.
Book Synopsis EU Management of Global Emergencies by : Inge Govaere
Download or read book EU Management of Global Emergencies written by Inge Govaere and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU Management of Global Emergencies: Legal Framework for Combating Threats and Crises provides a thorough analysis of the role played by the European Union (EU) in combating some of the global emergencies that currently affect, or are likely to affect, our planet. In particular, the potential of a “regional” model for coping with such emergencies is examined, taking into account the perceived inefficacy of traditional prevention and reaction mechanisms provided both by individual States and international organisations. The expression “global emergencies” refers to all situations, irrespective of the subject matter involved, which are characterised by an unexpected state of crisis which affects one or more regions of the world and call for an urgent and coordinated response from competent bodies and institutions. Furthermore, the book tests the role of the EU in managing global emergencies with respect to four broad areas: the economic and financial crises, the protection of the environment, terrorism and humanitarian aid, while maintaining focus on the legal framework within which the EU deals with such global emergencies in the light of the innovations brought about by the Lisbon Treaty. With contributions by leading experts in each of the identified set of challenges, EU Management of Global Emergencies: Legal Framework for Combating Threats and Crises aims at increasing the understanding of : (a) the contribution of regional organizations such as the EU to the management of global emergencies; (b) the effectiveness of the EU external action and the actual involvement of the EU in global cooperation processes against global emergencies; (c) global standards of human rights protection in relation to measures adopted in crises; and (d) the coordination mechanisms between the EU and other international organisations with a global or regional membership, in the management of global emergencies.

Book excerpt: The number of people affected by conflicts, displacement, or a lack of necessities such as food, water or shelter continues to rise across the globe. As a consequence, the need for humanitarian aid is also increasing. There are currently three "Level 3" emergencies – the worst level of humanitarian crises according to the United Nations – in Syria, Yemen and Iraq. Since the last Eurobarometer survey in 2015, the consequences of conflict and disasters outside the European Union have also been felt closer to home with the growing refugee crisis in the EU. In fact, as a partial result of this crisis, in 2016 a new EU regulation was adopted to allow the EU to provide humanitarian emergency support in urgent and excepcional circumstances for people affected by crises or disasters within the EU territory. Together with funding provided by EU Member States, the EU is the world's largest humanitarian aid donor. Based on the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence, the European Commission provides life-saving assistance to those in need through its Directorate- General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO). ECHO works in partnership with UN agencies, NGOs and international organisations such as the Red Cross. Although EU funding represents less than 1% of the EU budget, EU funded humanitarian aid helps over 120 million people every year. This report details the results of the Eurobarometer survey on public opinion on humanitarian aid in the 28 EU Member States. The aim of the survey is to understand EU citizens’ awareness and support for EU activities in the area of humanitarian aid, including comparisons (where appropriate) with similar surveys conducted in 2010, 2012 and 2015. This year's Special Eurobarometer considers the following: EU citizens' awareness of EU funding of humanitarian aid activities; support for the funding of humanitarian aid in general, and specifically in light of the current economic challenges; the impact the EU’s provision of humanitarian aid has on citizens’ image of the EU; whether EU citizens believe it is more efficient for humanitarian aid to be provided by each EU Member State separately or by the EU as a whole and coordinated by the European Commission; attitudes to different types of aid, including sending volunteers and providing aid for education for children and young people caught in emergencies; preferred sources of information about EU humanitarian aid policy. Results are presented for the EU as a whole, and variations by country, as well as significant variations by gender, age, education and other sociodemographic variables are discussed. This survey was carried out by TNS Opinion & Social network in the 28 Member States of the European Union between November 26 and December 5 2016. Some 27,929 respondents from different social and demographic groups were interviewed face-to-face at home in their mother tongue on behalf of Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations. The methodology used is that of Eurobarometer surveys as carried out by the Directorate-General for Communication (“Strategic communication” Unit). A technical note on the manner in which interviews were conducted by the Institutes within the TNS Opinion & Social network is appended as an annex to this report. Also included are the interview methods and confidence intervals.
Book Synopsis The EU and crisis response by : Roger Mac Ginty
Download or read book The EU and crisis response written by Roger Mac Ginty and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative and timely consideration of the European Union’s crisis response mechanisms brings together scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds to examine how and why the EU responds to crises on its borders and further afield. The work is based on extensive fieldwork in – among other places – Afghanistan, Libya, Mali and Iraq. The book considers the construction of crises and how some issues are deemed crises and others not. A major finding from this comparative study is that EU crisis response interventions have been placing increasing emphasis on security and stabilisation and less emphasis on human rights and democratisation. This changes – quite fundamentally – the EU’s stance as an international actor and leads to questions about the nature of the European Union and how it perceives itself and is perceived by others.
Book Synopsis European Approaches to Crisis Management by : Knud Erik Jørgensen
Download or read book European Approaches to Crisis Management written by Knud Erik Jørgensen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an up-to-date, scholarly analysis of European crisis management during the 1990s and is one of the first books to summarize European experiences in the field of peacekeeping and crisis management. With the help of eight case studies, the authors explore how European governments have responded to international crises. The book also contains in-depth studies on key concepts like humanitarian intervention, military doctrine and Petersberg tasks. The book describes Europe's increasing responsibility for the proper functioning of international society. It points to a pronounced move to collective action and highlights Europe's political and military adaptation to the post-Cold War strategic environment. The authors detect an ever stronger belief in the use of military power and thereby the contours of an emerging common European identity within the field of crisis management. The book establishes an agenda for future research on European crisis management and out-of-area operations. It will be of prime interest to students of international relations, European studies, foreign policy analysis, international organization, crisis management and conflict resolution, and will also be essential reading for all those who need a practical survey of the latest developments in the field of international crisis management.
Book Synopsis The European Union as Crisis Manager by : Arjen Boin
Download or read book The European Union as Crisis Manager written by Arjen Boin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union is increasingly being asked to manage crises inside and outside the Union. From terrorist attacks to financial crises, and natural disasters to international conflicts, many crises today generate pressures to collaborate across geographical and functional boundaries. What capacities does the EU have to manage such crises? Why and how have these capacities evolved? How do they work and are they effective? This book offers an holistic perspective on EU crisis management. It defines the crisis concept broadly and examines EU capacities across policy sectors, institutions and agencies. The authors describe the full range of EU crisis management capacities that can be used for internal and external crises. Using an institutionalization perspective, they explain how these different capacities evolved and have become institutionalized. This highly accessible volume illuminates a rarely examined and increasingly important area of European cooperation.

Book Synopsis A Responsibility to Assist by : Tom Hadden
Download or read book A Responsibility to Assist written by Tom Hadden and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02-16 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, written as part of a wider review of human rights in EU foreign policy, describes and assesses the current decision-making structures and procedures for EU military, police and civilian crisis management missions throughout the world. EU interventions or missions in non-member countries are a relatively recent development, and have largely been undertaken to ensure more effective co-ordination of humanitarian, peace-keeping, and peace building efforts by Member States in response to international conflicts and crises - and perhaps also to project the role of the EU as a major actor on the global stage. EU missions may involve the deployment of military forces in peace-keeping or peace enforcement operations, the deployment of military and police personnel in a preventive role or with a view to maintaining public order or controlling criminal activity, or they may involve the provision of civilian support for the rebuilding or redevelopment of the rule of law in countries where governmental structures have broken down. This report examines the incidence of these interventions, as well as their interaction with other bodies such as the UN, NATO, the African Union and voluntary coalitions, and the complex diplomatic and military negotiations leading to particular operations. The focus on assistance reflects the primary responsibility of the EU not to act independently of the UN and other international bodies but to provide support and assistance to the wider international community. The main aim of the report is not to provide a detailed analysis of the success or failure of particular missions, but is to describe the often complex and confusing structures developed over the past decade and to assess the past, present and future of the EU's responsibility to intervene in international crises.
Book Synopsis EU Emergency Response Policies and NGOs by : Daniela Irrera
Download or read book EU Emergency Response Policies and NGOs written by Daniela Irrera and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses trends and changes in the European Union’s (EU) humanitarian aid policy, by focusing on the performance of Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs). NGOs have developed strong relationships with international institutions but have also maintained direct interaction with EU member states. The result is a multi-layered process in which national interests, common values, universal principles and global duties meet and interact. By combining a deepening of the theoretical debate with the use of empirical data on the funding of NGO projects by EU institutions and member states, the book significantly furthers our understanding of the complex relationship between these actors. It will appeal to students and scholars interested in EU politics, global security, and international aid, as well as practitioners in the humanitarian field.
Book Synopsis The European Union and Human Security by : Mary Martin
Download or read book The European Union and Human Security written by Mary Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book examines European external interventions in human security, in order to illustrate the evolution and nature of the European Union as a global political actor. In 2003, the EU deployed its first external mission under the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) with a military force to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Since then it has instigated over 18 civilian and military missions to deal with humanitarian crises all over the world. This book presents a series of eight case studies of external interventions by the EU covering the Balkans, Africa, the Middle East, Afghanistan and Indonesia, to illustrate the nature of the EU as a global actor. Using the concept of human security to assess the effectiveness of these missions in meeting the EU’s aim of being a ‘force for good in the world’, this study addresses two key issues: the need for an empirical assessment of EU foreign and security policies based on EU intervention in conflict and post-conflict situations and the idea of 'human security' and how this is applied in European foreign policy. This book will be of great interest to students of European Security, EU politics, human security, post-conflict reconstruction, and IR in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation, commissioned by the European Commission's Directorate General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO), covers all humanitarian aid actions under the European Union (EU) Facility for Refugees in Turkey (the Facility) during the period 2016-2017. The Facility is a coordination mechanism for the mobilisation of EU resources - both from the EU budget and from Member States - to assist Turkey in addressing the needs of refugees and host communities. The evaluation examines the relevance, coherence, added value, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of DG ECHO's actions in Turkey. It also (1) provides a strategic assessment of how DG ECHO-supported services for refugees can be handed over to government institutions and/or development actors; (2) provides a structured and comprehensive retrospective assessment of DG ECHO's support for refugees in Turkey from an accountability perspective; and (3) includes elements of a real-time evaluation that provides feedback for immediate use, in particular regarding the second phase of the Facility.
Book Synopsis Europe's Coherence Gap in External Crisis and Conflict Management by : Bertelsmann Stiftung
Download or read book Europe's Coherence Gap in External Crisis and Conflict Management written by Bertelsmann Stiftung and published by Verlag Bertelsmann Stiftung. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: External interventions to mitigate crises or end conflicts have rarely succeeded. The EU and its member states, in particular, have repeatedly run up against their limits in the civil wars in Afghanistan, the Congo, Libya, Syria, the Sahel region and Yemen. However, the EU – if not the entire international community – have learned one lesson from their faltering peacebuilding efforts: If they are to have any chance of making a meaningful and lasting difference, they must develop and use comprehensive strategies that combine and coordinate the various tools available to diplomacy, development cooperation and security. The 29 reports presented in this book – one for each EU member state as well as one on the EU as a whole – examine how steep the learning curve has been and, accordingly, how successful these bodies have been at forming new linkages among the various actors involved in external crisis and conflict management as well as within and between their institutions and organisations. While the EU clearly still has a long way to go before it can live up to its rhetoric and become a distinct and effective actor on the foreign policy stage, small and incremental steps in reorganising institutional practise may help in narrowing the gap between words and deeds. This volume provides examples of how the EU and its member states have found new organisational structures and procedures – specifically at the headquarters level – to better organise the necessary combination and coordination of the many tools available for crisis and conflict management. These ways are then juxtaposed in a 'big picture' chapter, which also identifies best practices for successful WGA implementation.
