Cíle předmětu
The course is intended to provide students with an insight into the complexity of the crisis management activities of the EU. At the end of the course the students shall become familiar with the division of roles and competencies between the EU, the Community and the Member States, functioning of main structures and tools at the disposal of the European Security and Defence Policy as well as broader defined external relations of the EU. Furthemore they shall be able to analytically grasp the interaction between civilian and military dimensions of crisis management as carried out by the EU (with particular focus on different rules and methods applied in the two respective areas), ESDP crisis management missions, their different types, evolution over time and the overall impact onto the shape of the Union’s external relations and global security writ large. The course provides the students with in-depth analysis of the current situation in this area and aims that the students obtain up-to-date knowledge of the subject.
