초록
In the aftermath of the Cold War and with the beginning of this century the defense sector has assumed growing importance for the European Union. Therefore, it launched a series of initiatives to generate proper civilian and military instruments to enable it to perform its duties as a global actor. After having set new goals in accordance with the European Security Strategy, the European Union created a Battlegroup concept in order to develop a rapid reaction force capability. In 2007 the European Battlegroups achieved full operational capability and two of them are constantly ready to intervene far from European borders. This paper will analyse whether these military tools are sufficiently robust to address the new challenges that characterise the 21st century.
Abstract
In the aftermath of the Cold War and with the beginning of this century the defense sector has assumed growing importance for the European Union. Therefore, it launched a series of initiatives to generate proper civilian and military instruments to enable it to perform its duties as a global actor. After having set new goals in accordance with the European Security Strategy, the European Union created a Battlegroup concept in order to develop a rapid reaction force capability. In 2007 the European Battlegroups achieved full operational capability and two of them are constantly ready to intervene far from European borders. This paper will analyse whether these military tools are sufficiently robust to address the new challenges that characterise the 21st century.
