Abstract

During the Cold War, to the extent that it performed at the international stage, the European Community was portrayed as a ‘civilian power’, because it lacked the relevant military instruments and relied on ‘economic and diplomatic means’ to try to influence other actors.* 1 However; the myth of Europe as a civilian power was challenged with the end of the Cold War. In the post-Cold War security context; the withdrawal of many US forces from Europe, the Gulf War and the Yugoslav crisis demonstrated that the EU should back up its diplomatic and economic instruments with military capabilities.
