    Level of Ambition for Civilian CSDP: Past and Present in Terms of Type, Number and Size
    The Strategic Compass, approved on 21 March 2022, says that “we will further strengthen our civilian CSDP through a new Compact that will provide objectives on the type, number and size of civilian missions.” This paper aims to provide an informal baseline of past and present Level of Ambition (LoA) for civilian CSDP in terms of type, number and size in order to facilitate Member States’ informal and formal discussions on the topic as part of agreeing on a new Civilian CSDP Compact in early summer 2023.

    The EU’s Integrated Approach to Crisis Response: Learning from the UN, NATO and OSCE
    This empirical analysis critiques the EU Integrated Approach to External Conflicts and Crises, a strategic concept meant to coordinate the various civilian and military actors for enhanced effectiveness in crisis management. The authors empirically analyse the EU Integrated Approach with some comparison to the other organisations, and draw out four problems: difficulties in multilateral coordination; too much focus on EU institutions, thus undermining local ownership; insufficient conflict sensitivity; and excessive focus on migration control at the expense of other values and interests.
