The Comprehensive Security Concept of the European Union

  • Chapter
Globalization and Environmental Challenges

Part of the book series: Hexagon Series on Human and Environmental Security and Peace ((HSHES,volume 3))

Abstract

The chapter addresses the key elements of the European Security Strategy (Council of the EU 2003) and its follow-up implementation, including its impact on the crucial area of capability development. It is not a rigorous and exhaustive coverage of official decisions, but rather an illustrative description of the innovative approach the European Union (EU) has taken on security and defence in the early 21st century.
