European Union Peacekeeping
Posted in EU Info on 10/06/2010 11:23 pm by admin
In the future will a European army be more useful than national armies? If so or not, why?
Today, the EU does not have a European army with a central command.
The EU however undertakes limited military tasks, including humanitarian and rescue missions, peacekeeping, crisis management and even peace keeping. To implement these tasks, the Union created a rapid reaction force, whose military strength will be built up gradually over several years.
Some argue that coordination should go further to strengthen the EU countries’ ability to defend their interests. Others argue that this is a prerogative of member states. Where do you think the future of Europe’s military strategy lies?
