Maastricht Antlaşması’ndan Günümüze Avrupa Birliği Ortak Dış ve Güvenlik Politikası
European Union’s Common Foreign And Security Policy From Maastricht Treaty To Today

Summary/Abstract: Europe has chosen the way of unification after the Second World War and taken many steps towards this goal. However, the unification has focused on the economic matters alone for many years. Following the end of the Cold War, the perceptions towards security have dramatically changed in the world. In order to accord to these global changes and to be an effective actor in a global sense, the European Union has also preferred to follow a common policy in its foreign relations and taken the first serious step in this matter with the Maastricht Treaty. In this study, it is going to be argued that despite these developments within the European Union, there are still many serious gaps and discrepancies in the European common foreign and security policy. To support this assertion, the attitudes of the European Union countries as to the recent events concerning Iraq are examined.
