EU Conflict Prevention and Crisis Management
Conflict prevention and crisis management has become a key activity for the EU since the creation of the Common Security and Defence Policy in 1999. The rapid growth of this policy area, as well as the number of missions deployed beyond the EUs border raise important questions about the nature of the EUs international role and its contribution to international security.
The contributions to EU Conflict Prevention and Crisis Management analyze European conflict prevention and crisis management in terms of the EUs evolving global role, its institutions and its policies. The volume analyzes the EUs position in relation to the US, the UN and other regional security organizations, and applies three different institutionalist perspectives historical, rational choice and sociological institutionalism to explain the increasing institutionalization of EU crisis management. It also critically analyzes the application of EU policies in West Africa, Afghanistan and the Caucasus. Providing a comprehensive analysis of EU crisis management, the volume explores what role EU conflict prevention and crisis management plays in a European and a global context.
Offering a comprehensive and original contribution to the literature on EU foreign and security policy, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of European politics, international relations and security studies.
