La sécurité entre permanence et changement La fin de l'ère bipolaire devait forcément déboucher sur une nouvelle approche dans les conceptions sécuritaires. Mais dans quel sens ? En liant entre eux des apports de Barry Buzan, Ole Waever et Roxanne Lynn Doty, en retraçant brièvement l'évolution conceptuelle de la sécurité étatique à la sécurité humaine en passant par la sécurité sociétale, en proposant une lecture transnationale des approches et des enjeux sécuritaires, l'auteur offre une réflexion sur les manières d'appréhender la sécurité comme objet d'étude et comme traduction des enjeux et des problématiques sécuritaires pouvant concerner l'individu, la société et l'État. Entre permanence et changement, on comprendra que les enjeux sécuritaires ne sont finalement que le résultat d'une rencontre entre le naturel et le rationnel.

The end of the bipolar era must inevitably lead to a new approach to security conceptions. But in what sense? Linking contributions by Barry Buzan, Ole Waever & Roxanne Lynn Doty, retracing briefly the conceptual evolution from state security to human security passing through societal security, proposing a transnational reading of security stakes & approaches, the author offers a reflection on ways to grasp security as an object of study & as a translation of the security stakes & problematics which may concern the individual, society & the State. Between permanence & change, one will understand that security stakes are finally just the result of a meeting between the natural & the rational. Adapted from the source document.

By creating the European Gendarmerie Force (EGF), some European Union (EU) member states have devised a 'structured solution' to provide international civilian police capabilities. In this article, we undertake a critical examination of the EGF by first arguing that the EGF has been widely misrepresented, notably with regard to its general purpose and specific relationship to the EU. Next, we examine a range of security problems used to justify the EGF, arguing that its potential role in handling certain tasks has not been very carefully considered. Finally, we suggest that a major rationale behind the EGF was the shared desire among its members to draw attention to a policing model that is not universally appreciated, and to promote this model by offering its 'third-type' capabilities while keeping the EGF outside of EU institutional constraints. In the conclusion, we identify some crucial questions related to the EGF–EU relations, notably in terms of non-optimisation of EU resources and possible incoherence in EU/Common Security and Defence Policy efforts.
