Civilian aspects of EU crisis management [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Characteristic for crisis management operations of EU is an ambition to include both military and civilian elements among the resources available for the same operation. This means that there also exists civilian elements within the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) to a higher extent than what is available to, for example, NATO. The presence of such elements is quite different from an approach using military units for civil affairs or CIMIC.
Four priority areas for civilian aspects of ESDP have been identified: police, strengthening of the rule of law, strengthening civilian administration and civil protection.[6]
The European Commission also has a certain role with respect to the civilian aspects.[7]
