Samenvatting
Today, international organisations possessing competence in the security and defence field find themselves sailing into uncharted waters and are sometimes engaged in a competitive struggle in the theological field despite their obvious and necessary complementary nature. The European Union, which is developing a European Security and Defence Policy, (ESDP) in a determind yet modest manner, is itself torn between the emerging concepts of heightened cooperation, structured cooperation and leading or pilot groups wishing to go faster and further, perhaps outside the scope of the Union. All of this is taking place against the backdrop a highly important questions being raised concerning the future of the European Union and its draft constitutional treaty, which is likely to be somewhat modified by the intergovernmental conference. For its part, the military aspect is highly flexible with tailored commitments and the principle of "framework nations" as shown by European intervention in Ituria (DRC) and in Macedonia.
