This lecture is intended as a discussion on European Security, European security being understood both in the sense of security in Europe and security initiatives from Europe (i.e. EU Common Foreign and Security Policy and ESDP).
We will analyze the foreign and security policies of various EU member states, France will constitute the original case study. By comparing national security preferences, the objective is to see to what extent they interrelate in the EU context and converge towards a common European security culture.
