Les operations militaires en general et les operations associees a la Politique europeenne de securite et de defense (PESD/PSDC) de l'Union europeenne ou dans le cadre de l'OTAN ne peuvent etre etudiees si l'on ne prend pas en compte, tres en amont, quatre criteres : la solidarite entre Etats participants et leurs forces multinationalisees, le poids de la souverainete et des restrictions associees, la question de la prise de risque et, au final, la capacite d'entrer en premier dans les zones d'intervention. Ces quatre parametres politico-strategiques et psycho-sociologiques doivent aujourd'hui etre examines en parallele avant d'etre mis en relation. Ils peuvent alors expliquer la posture de telle ou telle capitale, les contraintes politiques, les limites aux engagements et la permanence du mythe du 'zero morts' ou, plus exactement, du 'moindre mort'.

Inspired by the confusion about EU defence policy in most European capitals, the premise of the study is simple: before discussing at Brussels-level what defence strategy the EU should adopt, member states should clarify what they expect individually from the EU Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). With the possible exception of the UK, it is quite difficult to grasp what member states really want from CSDP, so any debate over a possible European grand strategy would appear to be premature. This study inverts the usual analytical approach applied to the European strategic debate. Rather than initiating the enquiry from the perspective of common interests guiding CSDP, it analyses how seven prominent member states see CSDP as a tool to pursue their strict national interests. Five researchers thus took the opportunity to immerse themselves in the foreign policy worlds of Paris, London, Berlin, Rome, Warsaw, Stockholm and Madrid, looking at CSDP through national lenses – away from potentially distorting influence of the ‘Brussels-mentality’ or rhetoric. In brief, this book does not set out to analyse European defence policy as an end in itself or as a collective project, but rather as a vector of individual – indeed self-interested – visions for the member states studied. By following this rather more pragmatic path, the survey aims to identify the common denominators, misunderstandings and rigid deadlocks on the strategic debate around CSDP, with a view to enriching it.

The EU's emergence as an international security provider, under the first Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) operations in the Balkans in 2003, is a critical development in European integration. In this book, which relies on extensive interviews with CSDP officials, Michael E. Smith investigates how the challenge of launching new CSDP operations causes the EU to adapt itself in order to improve its performance in this realm, through the mechanism of experiential institutional learning. However, although this learning has helped to expand the overall range and complexity of the CSDP, the effectiveness of this policy tool still varies widely depending on the nature of individual operations. The analysis also calls in to question whether the CSDP, and the EU's broader structures under the 2009 Treaty of Lisbon, are fit for purpose in light of the EU's growing strategic ambitions and the various security challenges facing Europe in recent years. --
