This book offers an in-depth study on the deployment of military
operations in the framework of the European Union's Common Security
and Defence Policy (ESDP/CSDP). While existing studies of the
subject are either descriptive or focused on a single level of
analysis, this book incorporates factors from three different
levels of analysis to explain the deployment of ESDP military
operations. First, the international level, where the emergence of
events that threaten certain values held dear by EU member states,
catalyses the process leading to an operation; second, the national
level, where the member states formulate their initial national
preferences towards a prospective deployment based on national
utility expectations; and third, the EU level, where the member
states come to negotiate and seek compromises to accommodate their
different national preferences towards a deployment. The strength
of this multi-level collective action approach is demonstrated by
four in-depth military case studies, which analyse the preference
formation of France, Germany, and the UK towards the deployments of
Operation Althea in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Operation Artemis and
EUFOR RD Congo in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and
Operation Atalanta off the coast of Somalia, respectively. The
author draws on a wealth of primary sources, including over 50
semi-structured interviews conducted with national and EU officials
during 2011-15, and provides an up-to-date overview and critique of
the existing theoretical literature on the deployment of ESDP/CSDP
military operations. This book will be of much interest to students
of European security, EU politics, military and strategic studies,
and International Relations in general.
