The Future of the European Security and Defence Policy

The book delves into the evolution of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP), established at the EU's Helsinki summit in 1999 to enhance the EU's role in crisis management through credible military power. It examines the relationship between the EU and NATO, as well as the U.S. perspective on European security. The analysis suggests that the ESDP's effectiveness hinges on specific actions and developments, positioning it as a vital component of the Common Foreign and Security Policy within the EU framework.
