Conceptual paper on the preparadness of the EU and member states

WP5 will analyse security and defence instruments to be used in ALS/CO to foster resilience, including the CFSP and CSDP. WP5 will also examine diverging or converging approaches within the EU and the influence of external actors, in cooperation with WP6. Moreover, we will investigate broader external action instruments to act in ALS/CO and to foster resilience, including development assis-tance tools, migration, and other external relations policies. Finally, WP5 will assess the operationali-sation and implementation process of the EU Global Strategy and its contribution to address ALS/CO, to foster resilience, to respond to global and diffuse threats, and to improve the coherence of the EU external action, in cooperation with WP6. A workshop will take stock of the discussions on prepared-ness, capacities and instruments of EU and member states assessed in the case studies, in preparation for D5.6 and D5.7.
