Starting from a comprehensive approach to the EU security actorness this article analyzes the contribution of the Lisbon Treaty to security issues. The post-Cold War actorness has obeyed the Westphalian logic of separation between the internal & external dimensions of security. The current complexity of threats has favored the trend towards transpilarization, confirming the comprehensive & multidimensional nature of the actor. The reform treaty allows for this gradual construction of the actor, related to the consolidation of the European security agenda. However, the changes introduced highlight a constructive contradiction reflected on the dispositions that facilitate a comprehensive approach, & on the covert pilarization, combined with the absence of an explicit concern about the coherence of the security actor.

Presente Special Issue aims to analyze the narratives and practices of internal security in your internal / external connections. The complexity of risks and threats have questioned the conceptualizations, policies and organic, based on a rigid separation between internal and external security. In response to transnational challenges, the state actor has diversified palette of cooperatives mechanisms: institutionalized interstate cooperation; of security regimes; co-operation between state actors and private actors; networks transgovernmental relations. In summary, we can identify three aspects of the nexus in / out: 'internalization of external phenomena incidence; externalization of internal phenomena initially incidence; phenomena of cross-border nature.' Regarding the externalization of internal security, it is therefore associated with the missions of international transnational criminal activities, the explicit goals of internal security in foreign policies, the interstate cooperatives and transgovernmental mechanisms in the field of internal security and police in situations of post-conflict.
