    European Security and Defense Policy: Between »Offensive Defense« and »Human Security«
    in Internationale Politik und Gesellschaft , Heft 4, 2006 ,  2006
    ABSTRACT: The more the EU extends its security policy commitments the more diffuse the political and strategic profile of ESDP appears to be. The common security strategy of 2003 leaves a number of central issues unanswered, above all what EU military intervention involves. Clarification is therefore required concerning the aims, capacities, and requirements of European security and defense policy. The central question here is: Is ESDP defined primarily as a defense or as a political project? Is it a matter, therefore, of »offensive (self-)defense« or of »human security«?
