The Security-Development Nexus in the EU’s Policies Towards the Sahel
The Sahel has become a focal point of EU foreign policy, particularly following Mali’s security crisis since 2012. This analysis critically examines European policies in Mali, highlighting their limitations and weaknesses. Rooted in systemic limits of the EU’s external actions and its colonial ties with Africa, these shortcomings stem from an overemphasis on security and migration, neglecting Mali’s deep social and ethnic imbalances. Consequently, EU policies and activities in the region have prioritized short-term fixes over structural solutions. Furthermore, recent political shifts, including military coups, underscore the need to reassess Brussels’ ineffective strategies and the evolving diplomatic landscape in the Sahel.
The EU and the Security-Development Nexus
In The EU and the Security-Development Nexus, Hans Merket unravels the long-standing commitment of the European Union (EU) to integrate its policies across the security-development nexus. By fine-tuning the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) – which includes the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) – with its development cooperation policies, the EU aims to end the devastating vicious cycle of insecurity and poverty in fragile states. This book undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the EU’s words and deeds that result from this engagement across its entire policy, and its institutional and legal system. This gives a complete picture of the significance, impact, limits, potential and remaining challenges of this policy commitment, and simultaneously elucidates the practical impact of Treaty reform in the area of EU external action.
The European Union's Broader Neighbourhood
Over the past decade the European Union (EU) has gradually developed the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) with its neighbours. At the same time, the ‘neighbours of the EU’s neighbours’ have presented new challenges. This book addresses the EU’s broader neighbourhood, comprising of the ENP countries and the neighbours of its neighbours. With specific focus on Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, it discusses trans-regional policy issues that arise from the EU’s relations with regions beyond the ENP. Based on an interdisciplinary, policy-oriented approach, this volume explores major political, legal, security and socio-economic challenges and identifies opportunities for cooperation across the EU’s broader neighbourhood. This book will be of interest to students, experts and scholars interested in EU affairs and politics, international relations, EU and international law, diplomacy and area studies.
