It answers this question with a set of empirical data viewed through the lenses of the rational choice approach, the institutional explanation, and constructivism. ... MoreNovember 30, 2011 | November's Best DebatesEditorial Team: Atlantic Community articles aren’t the whole story. Member comments can have just as many interesting ideas. This month, our latest Atlantic Memo comes from a discussion on scrapping the CSDP, passions flared over stopping Iran’s nuclear program, and we debated international piracy and the impact of the European far right. ... MoreNovember 28, 2011 | Goodbye to EU Prestige Thinking: Redefining the CSDPMemo 35: The EU must restructure its Common Security and Defence Policy based on economic and operational realities. It should emphasize narrow, logistically feasible operations over broad outlines, clearly delineate its partnership with NATO, and take a longer term view when developing operational strategies. ... MoreNovember 23, 2011 | Pillar or Pole? NATO, CSDP, and the Transatlantic RelationshipJordan Becker: The European security community must decide whether they want to exist as one part of an overall transatlantic security identity or to project power independent of NATO.

MoreGlobal Must Read ArticlesApril 10, 2012 | A Compass for the CSDPThe European Union’s Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) is intended to enable Europe to actively pursue peace in its neighborhood. From the beginning, it has been a key concern of the Social Democrats’ policy on Europe. Emerging from EU impotence in the face of the violent break-up of the former Yugoslavia this policy instrument is supposed to enable effective European crisis management. ...

While some missions like the one in Indonesia have been extraordinarily successful, others like the EUFOR Tchad/RCA mission have failed miserably. If the EU intends to be taken ...
