title = {The EU’s Strategic Compass – Anything new for the EU’s CSDP?},
year = {2023},
note = {Facing increasing internal and external threats, the Member States of
the European Union are moving closer together in ensuring the
Union’s security. The European Council endorsed the Strategic
Compass, developed over 18 months, on 24 March 2022. The document,
divided into four priorities: ‘Act’, ‘Secure’, ‘Invest’,
and ‘Partner’, should represent the common strategic vision for
the EU’s role in security and defence in an increasingly complicated
environment of international relations marked predominantly by
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Within the four main priorities there
is the first-ever agreed EU threat assessment and a long list of
security and defence deliverables, which implies that that there are
many issues that still require clarification. This article will take a
closer look at potentials and limits of the Strategic Compass in order
to show throughout the glace of the document more precisely where the
limits of the European Union’s and Member States’ action are
within the European security and defence realm, both legally and
politically. Finally, this article will try to detect if the Strategic
Compass is an appropriate answer for transformation of European
security after Russia’s military escalation at the EU’s eastern
flank.},
