EU Foreign and Security Policy

The development of a cohesive foreign and security policy has always been a tall order for the EU. The difficulty in sharpening the EU’s profile as a credible international security actor is usually traced to institutional matters.

A main problem is the rigidity voting procedures, whereby member states retain veto power in foreign policy decisions. Another one is the low degree of defence integration, reflected in a modest capacity for force generation and projection.
