Forming Security Culture of the European Union (European Security Strategy)Reviewed - Research

Doc. PhDr. Jan Eichler, CSc.

The Document ESS 2003 laid down foundations of our present-day security and strategy culture. It was formed as a summary of several historical and political factors that are introduced in two starting chapters, followed by the more detailed analysis into ESS 2003, its main characteristics influencing EU security and strategic culture. The ESS 2003 is compared with the American doctrinal document NSS 2002. The European security strategy of 2003 is not compared with following American strategical documents, as they were unknown in time of its drafting. The author comes into the conclusion that in spite of indisputable differences, the EU shares the same values as the US, and the EU as an American strategical ally is facing the same threats and challenges as the US does, and in case of need, there is a possibility of combined military actions.

A Secure Europe in a Better World - The European Security Strategy, Approved by the European Council held in Brussels on 12 December 2003 and drafted under the responsibilities of the EU High Representative Javier Solana. V tomto dokumentu EU poprvé definovala hlavní hrozby a výzvy pro evropskou bezpečnost s možnými způsoby, jak těmto hrozbám čelit. Nicméně se jednalo spíše o politické prohlášení určené vnějšímu světu než o dokument strategického charakteru.

Unie pro Středomoří. V samém centru této iniciativy stojí projekty na podporu ekonomického růstu, zaměstnanosti, regionální soudržnosti a hospodářské integrace.
