Parametres for the European Union Defence Planning Process
Parametres for the European Union Defence Planning Process

Summary/Abstract: The defence planning process has been one of the main areas where the European defence project progress has been substantially reflected. The evolution towards defining a European profile in managing the planning dimension associated with defence has been carried out in a short but very consistent timeframe, consistency deriving from the successively assumed transformations and innovations. The comprehensive character is the fundamental feature of the matrix in which planning aspects tend to be managed at the EU level. Overall, we talk about the coexistence of traditional aspects of force planning with prospective elements in the use of security and defence capabilities. Considering these coordinates, the profile of the planning process is an evolutionary approach, with a relevant conceptually-strategic foundation, through the Lisbon Treaty and the Global Security Strategy. The present study aims at highlighting, on the one hand, the particular nature of the developments in the definition of planning procedures and, on the other hand, the specificities developed in this context. An important role is also given to valuing the elements of the future European defence planning model.
