Lecture Abstract

While the European Union (EU) is widely recognised as an economic and trade power, few know it is also a military power, expanding its role not only in traditional security, from "hard security" to conflict prevention and crisis management, but also in non-traditional security, from cyber, counterterrorism to maritime and hybrid threats.  Over the last years, the EU and its Member States have taken historic, unprecedented steps so that they can collectively be a more effective and more powerful global security provider.
