European Union Common Security and Defence Policy

The European Union’s Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) is a framework that coordinates member countries’ efforts to maintain peace, security, and stability. It enables the EU to undertake joint military and civilian missions, like peacekeeping or crisis management, often in situations where individual countries might hesitate to act alone. The goal is to promote collective security, prevent conflicts, and respond effectively to international crises, while respecting each nation's sovereignty. Overall, CSDP enhances the EU's ability to address security challenges collaboratively, strengthening overall stability within Europe and beyond.
