Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this article is to analyze the concept of comprehensive approach as a fundamental concept defining the EU common security policy. Application of this concept to security policy at the EU level has emerged from the theoretically-driven assumption that security is strongly correlated with development, which generates a security-development nexus. Therefore, comprehensive approach binds together instruments related to security policy and development assistance policy. The article presents the multi-dimensional understanding of the EU’s comprehensive approach. The analysis of the relevant EU documents and political declarations has been used as a main method. It has been supplemented by the analysis of literature on theoretical perspectives on a security-development nexus.Keywords: Comprehensive Approach, Common Security and Defence Policy, Security--Development Nexus
