Summary/Abstract: The European Union as a global actor has received a growing boost in recent decades. Somalia is the country that has captured more attention in the last ten years as it remains as a Failed State. The phenomenon of piracy and terrorism led the EU to intervene in 2008 for the first time. In order to stabilized the region Brussels has launched three different missions: EU Navfor Atalanta, EUTM Somalia and EUCAP Nestor-Somalia. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the three missions to draw conclusions about the successes and failures of the EU presence in Somalia a decade later.
