3. It will examine the role of the Union as a peace builder in the conflict management and resolution cycle, with regard to the theoretical, institutional and operational aspects (both civil and military).

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

5. It will take into consideration the EU's policies implemented 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 Member States playing a major role in the EU's external action, to the energy policy, to the fight against climate change, to the European elections of May 2019 and to the possible implications for the EU's external action.

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