France And The Search For Autonomy In European SecurityBahcecik, Serif Onur 01 August 2004 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis depicts the French security and foreign policy regarding European security. The study covers French foreign and security policy in the aftermath of the Second World War, the period of Charles de Gaulle, Franç / ois Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac. The theme of autonomy in European security is maintained throughout the years under scrutiny. It is argued that the search for autonomy has been a constant goal of the French security and foreign policy. It is also maintained that France has a policy of employing organizations like NATO and European Union as an instrument to advance its own causes, where possible.

Conceptualising European Strategic Autonomy : A Qualitative Content Analysis of ESA Understandings in Finland and SwedenNaylor, Carl January 2024 (has links)
European Strategic Autonomy (ESA) has become one of the key concepts in the European security debate. Its essential meaning is that European states need to collectively ensure their autonomy to act independently of external parties in the wake of unfolding geopolitical shifts, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However, given the complex nature of cooperation in Europe, Member States (MS) of the European Union (EU) have different understandings of how ESA should be pursued. This divergence has led to an elusiveness of the concept, both in the World of policy and academia, which is problematic as it has hindered cooperative developments. This thesis systematically investigates how two Member States in the EU, Finland and Sweden, understand ESA. Given ESA’s lack of theorisation, an ‘ESA model’ has been developed that has helped measure the two cases’ respective understandings. ESA has traditionally been limited to the policy area of defence, however, in line with the current broader understanding of ESA, this thesis also considers energy and economy. In doing so, this thesis gives a more nuanced picture of the two countries respective ESA understandings. The findings show that both Finland and Sweden are strongly in favour of ESA measures for energy, Russia’s energy leverage over the EU being the main explanation. Both countries are also in favour of ESA measures for economy, to avoid being vulnerable to China’s growing assertiveness; however, unlike energy and Russia, both Finland and Sweden also emphasise the importance of maintaining trade with China that is beneficial for companies in the respective countries. Both countries are more circumspect towards ESA measures for defence. This is especially the case for Sweden which strongly emphasises the importance of a robust defence relationship with the United States.

The European Convention and Common Foreign and Security Policy: more defence, less scrutiny?Bono, Giovanna January 2004 (has links)
By adopting a multilevel approach to understanding decisions taken in security and defence policies
by European member states, the paper argues that the development of the European Security and
Defence Policy, the proliferation of ad-hoc coalitions of the willing, and the subcontracting of
security tasks from the UN has worsened the challenge of parliamentary accountability in foreign,
security and defence policies.
The paper evaluates how the European Convention has sought to bridge the parliamentary
accountability gap in Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and in European Security and
Defence Policy (ESDP). The outcomes of the Convention on the future of Europe are not meeting
its initial ambition to put foreign, security and defence policy among the priorities for the European
Union¿s constitutional design. CFSP will become more integrated, on an intergovernmental rather
than supranational model and under the large states¿ control. The major innovation is the creation
of the position of Foreign Affairs Minister whose autonomy remains still uncertain, especially in
his/her relationship with the President of the European Council. ESDP¿s operational capabilities
and scope are both extended while coalitions of the willing are institutionalised and a defence core
group could emerge. The contrast remains between a slower integration of CFSP and a faster progress
of ESDP.
Given the significance of proposals in ESDP, the new powers proposed by the European Convention
to be given to national parliaments and the European Parliament in this policy area are too weak to
close the existing parliamentary accountability gap.

Toward the European Army: Theory, Practice and Development of a European Defence Identity, 1945-2004Garrett, Jeremy P. 05 November 2013 (has links)
This dissertation traces military integration in Europe from the 1940s to the early 2000s in order to reveal the growth of a common European defence identity. Four factors characterize its approach. First, European defence identity is analyzed in relation to the broader path of European integration and its historical context, showing connections with key turning points in European integration, with the evolution of Franco-German relations and European-American relations, with the Cold War and subsequent Collapse of Communism, etc. Second, the dissertation applies theories of identity formation to guide the historical analysis. This approach draws attention, for example, to the important roles that borders and symbols played in European defence identity formation. Third, the thesis adopts a hybrid “top-down” and “bottom-up” approach; one side considers formal programs, policies, and institutions that promoted a European defence identity, while the other takes stock of public perceptions, actions by “rank and file” soldiers, etc. This dual approach helps to reveal more fully the complex, negotiated character of European defence identity formation. Finally, this thesis traces the growth of a European defence identity as a path of ideological and emotional change, growing commitment, and trust-building that spanned decades.

The EU Foreign PolicyPetersson, Emmy January 2007 (has links)
<p>This dissertations aims to examine the EU Foreign Policy, and more precisely map the High Representative (HR) and his impact on the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) in the EU. Using two theoretical frameworks, leadership theory and institutional theory, the study tests the explanatory power of these theories to explain the HR and his impact on the CFSP. The study is limited to a period of time, from November 2002 until December 2003, when several different events took place within the framework of the CFSP. The conclusion indicates that both leadership theory and institutional theory can help explain the development and outcomes of the CFSP.</p><p>Keywords: EU foreign policy, Common Foreign and Security Policy, High Representative of the CFSP, European Security and Defence Policy, Iraq war, European Security Strategy</p>

TurkeyYuksel, Engin 01 May 2007 (has links) (PDF)
The study examines Turkey&rsquo / s responses in the face of the formation of European
Security and Defense Policy (ESDP). The political responses over ESDP have two
dimensions. From the viewpoint of Turkey, at the beginning she intended to participate
in the process of decision making structure of the ESDP. Therefore, it can be concluded
that Turkey is not against the formation of the ESDP. However, as a non-EU European
NATO member, Turkey&rsquo / s integration into European security and defense was welcomed
but she was excluded from the strategic decision making structure of ESDP. As a result
of this, formation of ESDP undermined the position of Turkey who has rights inherited
over European security from Western European Union Associate and NATO
Memberships. As Turkey was excluded from the decision making structure of ESDP, she
put reservations to the EU-NATO cooperation as a NATO member. Secondly, from the
viewpoint of European Union, she is trying to keep the decision making authority of
ESDP in EU itself by excluding non-EU European states. Besides, Turkey&rsquo / s full
integration into European Security and Defense Policy was made contingent to the
Turkey&rsquo / s European Union membership. Turkey&rsquo / s EU membership process should not be
linked with her full participation, including decision making structure of the ESDP.
European defense developments were considered to be as a challenge to NATO and US
superiority in Europe. Developments in European defense and Turkey&rsquo / s participation in
this process were also examined in this study.

Britain And European Security Integration:british Perspectives On European Security Matters Between 1945-2003Orhan, Buket Pinar 01 May 2004 (has links) (PDF)
The thesis analyzes security perception of Britain within the framework of European security integration. The time that is covered in the thesis is between 1945 and 2003. The thesis exam,ines the assumptions constructing British position and intends to reveal that each of the country in Europe has possessed its own perception of security and defense within this significant process, and that -one of whose position made a profound impact on further development of European security and defense policies. That is the position of Britain. This study, therefore, will try to reveal the position of Britain and her policies in terms of European efforts for having a common identity on security and defense.
