This volume examines how the forthcoming EU Global Strategy will impact on human security approach to conflicts.

Contemporary conflicts are best understood not as legitimate contests of wills (the twentieth century idea of war) but as a degenerate social condition in which armed groups mobilise sectarian and fundamentalist sentiments and construct a predatory economy through which they enrich themselves at the expense of ordinary citizens. Identifying ways to address violent conflict could open up strategies for dealing with broader issues. This volume provides a timely contribution to debates over the role of the EU on the global stage and its contribution to peace and security, at a time when these discussions are reinvigorated by the adoption of the EU Global Strategy. It discusses the significance of the Strategic Review and the Global Strategy for the re-articulation of EU conflict prevention, crisis management, peacebuilding, and development policies in the next few years. It addresses the key issues facing EU security in the 21st Century, including the conflicts in Ukraine, Libya and Syria, border security, cyber-security and the role of the private security sector. The book concludes by proposing that the EU adopts a second generation human security approach to conflicts, as an alternative to Geo-Politics or the War on Terror, taking forward the principles of human security and adapting them to 21st Century realities.

This book will be of interest to students of human security, European security, peace and conflict studies, global governance and IR in general.
