The Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) is a key component of the European Union's foreign policy framework. It aims to enhance the EU's ability to manage crises and promote peace and stability in various regions. The CSDP includes military and civilian missions, focusing on conflict prevention, peacekeeping, and post-conflict reconstruction. Through the CSDP, the EU collaborates with international organizations like NATO and engages in partnerships with countries around the world. This policy allows member states to pool resources and share responsibilities, ensuring a more effective response to security challenges while promoting collective defense and cooperation.
