Europe's 1st marine mission - patrolling and escorting against Somalian pirates
The paper discusses the state of the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). The authors point out that national preferences and traditions continue to play the decisive role in European defense planning. Despite the financial crisis and resulting austerity measures – and despite the often reiterated commitment to the CSDP vision – there is still a lack of resolve among EU Member States to building common ground in security and defense policy.
