THE EUROPEAN SECURITY STRATEGY: A ‘CONFLICT PREVENTION’ PERSPECTIVE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ‘ASYMMETRIC THREATS
Abstract
This paper analyzed the European Security Strategy (ESS), which was
adopted in ‗A Secure Europe in a Better World‘ in December 2003 by the European
Council and reviewed with a implementation report in 2008 within the context of the
European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP). It made its analysis by focusing on
two research questions: How does the ESS deal with these new security threats?
What makes it different and more promising than the US National Security Strategy
(USNSS). At the end, it has come to the conclusion that the ESS, constitutes a more
promising approach in terms of a long-term solution for a better and a more secure
world, and of winning the ‗hearts‘ and ‗minds‘ of world societies.
