European Union Security Policies – selected issues

Original language description

This book examines the latest developments of the European Union's security policies e. g. common energy policy and particularly the way security of energy supply are taken into account and handled. The book is organized in four parts and each chapter critically examines EU objectives, instruments and means, in order to assess their effectiveness, identify the weaknesses and offer some recommendations for the way ahead. Thus presented monograph is not only retrospective, looking back at and evaluating what the EU has done, but also perspective, putting forward proposals to enhance the effectiveness of EU security policy. One of the chapter European cyber security looks at the institutions that make and implement policy in the different dimensions covered by the `grand strategy’, charts the instruments and means at their disposal. Cybercrime is an ever-growing threat to citizens' fundamental rights and to the economy, as well, as to the development of a successful Digital Single Market. As commerce and banking shift online, cybercrime can represent a huge potential gain to criminals and a huge potential loss to citizens. Cyber criminals can act from outside the Union to harm critical infrastructures and simultaneously target a large number of victims across Member States, with minimum effort and risk. The most interesting chapters IV and V deal with a very important issue, mainly common energy policy and approaching climate problem, which has been at the forefront of international efforts towards a global climate deal. In response to concerns surrounding the delivery of Russian gas via Ukraine, the EU launched its EU energy security strategy in 2014. It lays out measures such as increasing energy efficiency as well as indigenous energy production or completing missing infrastructure links to redirect energy to where it is needed during a crisis.
