Descripción
Sumario:Since its origins, the European Union has striven to be an actor on the International scene and a place in conflict Management. Yet the EU's lack of activity cannot be justified by a mere lack of capacities. The EU counts with numerous political, economic, and, since 2003, civil and military instruments that should allow it to precede a comprehensive conflict response. This publication consists of a description of these instruments and an analysis of the final use that the Union makes of them in the different stages of a conflict. Examples will show us the EU's main weakness in providing a comprehensive and timely response when a conflict breaks out.
