Abstract

[This chapter explores the impact of the Yugoslav Wars on the role and the scope of the EU foreign action. The wars that put an end to the former Yugoslav Federation and their devastating effect on the EU’s self-image constitute the first critical juncture in the evolution towards a Common European Security and Defence. The Franco-British relationship will prove to be the arbiter of ESDP/CSDP until Brexit occurs. Soon, the British will have second thoughts on a future autonomous ESDP but, constrained by the very institutions they contributed to emerge, cannot go backwards. However, using the unanimity rule they would block any development towards more autonomy in security and defence.]
