Description
The European approach to security has evolved considerably in the recent years. While the core of European security policy is grounded in the Common Foreign and Security Policy, the EU is increasingly addressing security concerns through “soft policies” as well. Indeed, the various EU policies and strategies in the environment, development and security spheres reflect a growing commitment to the concept of a multi-dimensional and comprehensive notion of security.
This profile takes a look at the EU’s foreign and security policies and its environment and development policies in an effort to highlight existing or possible linkages in the EU’s external relations among all these spheres.
