The evolution of the European Union as a security and defence actor. In search of the ever pending relaunch
Abstract
The Lisbon treaty generated great expectations for the possibilities of the EU becoming a relevant international security and defence actor, capable of undertaking missions of a greater magnitude than those executed since 2003. Nevertheless, and paradoxically, we are witnessing a certain stagnation of the Common Security and Defence Policy now when it has been given more legal and political instruments and when we are witnessing a greater security demand. This article will focus on understanding this situation, explaining also the insufficiencies and weaknesses of the CSDP, as well as the attempts —unsuccessful so far— of relaunching it.
