Università Roma Tre

1. The course will start with a theoretical and conceptual scrutiny of the EU as a global, inclusive and multidimensional security actor.

2. It will analyse the institutions and the procedures of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP).

3. The course will examine the role of the EU as a peace maker in conflict management and resolution, with regard to the theoretical, institutional and operational aspects (both civilian and military).

4. It will also analyse the dynamics of coordination between the EU and other international, regional and local security providers (United Nations, NATO, African Union, Non-Governmental Organizations).

5. It will take into consideration the policies implemented by the EU in order to stabilize its neighbourhood and contribute to its political and economic development, such as the enlargement policy and the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) toward Eastern and Mediterranean regions.

6. The focus will then turn to the actions necessary to promote democracy, human rights and economic development, through multiple and diversified instruments. In particular, the development cooperation policy will be examined.

7. Specific insights will be dedicated to the European defence, to the EU's international diplomacy, to the EU Global Strategy and to the external aspects of migration.

8. Finally, the course will provide the instruments for a global assessment of the EU's action on the international scenario, analysing its strengths and weaknesses, in the attempt to set out emerging trends and the future challenges.
