| dc.description.abstract | This explorative research focuses on the reasons behind peace operations deployed by the European Union (EU). During the 1990s the EU became a regional security organisation. In 2001 the European Council in Laeken declared that the EU was capable of conducting some crisis-management operations. In January 2003 the European Union (EU) deployed its first peace operation under the EU-flag. Many different operations followed. In the period 2002 until 2007 the European Commission decided to deploy twenty peace operations. These European peace operations are deployed in Europe as well as in Asia and Africa. The broad spread of the EU operations is the puzzle of this research. There are many conflicts in which the EU could intervene, so the question rises why the EU deploys peace operations in dome states and not in others. This explorative research determines which reasons for interventions do or do not apply on the EU peace operations. Therefore the central research question is: Based on which reasons does the European Union deploy peace-operations in a certain region or state? | en_US |
