National Visions of EU Defence Policy - Common Denominators and Misunderstandings is a collaborative study between CEPS and GRIP (Group for Research and Information on Peace and Security), funded by COST, an intergovernmental framework for European Cooperation in Science and Technology supported by the EU's RTD Framework Programme ; The premise of this study is simple: before discussing what defence strategy the EU should adopt at Brussels-level, member states should clarify what they expect individually from the EU Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). Inspired by the confusion about EU defence policy in most European capitals, this authoritative study inverts the usual analytical approach applied to the debate on European strategy. Rather than initiating the enquiry from the perspective of common interests guiding CSDP, it analyses how seven prominent member states see CSDP as a tool to pursue their strictly national interests. Five researchers immersed themselves in the foreign policy worlds of Paris, London, Berlin, Rome, Warsaw, Stockholm and Madrid, looking at CSDP through national lenses and away from the potentially distorting influence of 'Brussels' rhetoric. This book does not set out to analyse European defence policy as an end in itself or as a collective project, but rather as a vector of individual – indeed self-interested – visions for the member states studied. By adopting this rather more pragmatic approach, the study aims to identify the common denominators, misunderstandings and deadlocks in the strategic debate around CSDP, with a view to enriching it. ; COST Action IS0805 "New Challenges of Peacekeeping and the European Union's Role in Multilateral Crisis Management" ; Joanna Dobrowolska-Polak

This report constitutes the final deliverable of the EvoCS project. In it, the main results of the project are summarised and put into their respective context (section 2). It also includes final notes on the inter-study coherence, comments on the methodology of the EvoCS analytical framework (section 3) and an analysis and evaluation in the context of European policy documents and the current Eurobarometer on security (section 4). At its heart, the report formulates recommendations which are based on the project's results which target different levels (e.g. the EU level, the national level) and different geographical parts of Europe (e.g. recommendations for the whole of the EU, recommendations which are specific for certain regions) (section 5). In the last two sections, a report is given on the EvoCS project's final conference which took place Brussels on 10th November 2015 (section 6) and two examples of policy briefs which are one possible product that can come out of future activities using the project's analytical framework (section 7). The annex includes a guideline in which sequence the project's deliverables should be read.
