Οι νέες αντιλήψεις για την ασφάλεια και η εξέλιξη της ΚΕΠΠΑ

Abstract

This article deals with the interactions of theoretical revisions with the practical evolution of security and foreign policy as agenda-setting factors for European security policies. The analysis projects also the CFSP’s most tangible dimension up to now, the European army, against the background of the EU s more far-reaching bid for a security and foreign policy system that makes sense in the rapidly changing global environment. At this point, the focus is not on the institutional problem of setting a new Euro-atlantic balance in defense matters, as is usually the case, but rather on the goal of defining the values and principles determining the political culture of Europe, which will ultimately constitute the driving force behind EU’s necessary repositioning toward the diversified security challenges of today's world.
