ABSTRACTThis thesis critically examines the European Union's (EU) evolving role in global politics, with a particular focus on its foreign and security policy in the context of current conflicts. The research encapsulates the EU’s strategic transition from an economic bloc to a key player in international diplomacy and security. It scrutinizes the EU’s multifaceted approach towards crises like the Ukraine conflict, anti-piracy efforts in Somalia, peacekeeping in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and involvement in the Sahel region, highlighting the balance between humanitarian aid, conflict prevention, and military response. Central to the thesis is an analysis of the discrepancy between the EU’s theoretical frameworks for conflict resolution and their practical applications, a gap most evident in the response to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. This critique leads to recommendations for developing actionable and adaptable conflict resolution strategies. The thesis also delves into the EU’s internal challenges, including handling the migrant crisis, pandemic response, and energy security issues, advocating for harmonized policies that enhance EU-wide cohesion while respecting national sovereignty. Expert interviews provide contrasting perspectives on the EU's defense capabilities and the feasibility of a unified military force, addressing the skepticism around the Euroforce concept and emphasizing the need for greater EU defense autonomy. Furthermore, the thesis explores the symbiotic relationship between NGOs and the EU in humanitarian operations. It identifies funding and operational challenges and proposes solutions for more sustainable and effective crisis management partnerships, and also assesses the EU’s future role in international affairs, underscoring the importance of strategic adaptation, cohesive policy-making, and a commitment to a rules-based international order. The findings affirm the initial hypothesis that the evolving nature of the EU's foreign and security policy amid current conflicts necessitates a cohesive internal security force to safeguard its interests. The research contributes to the discourse on the EU's global role, offering insights and recommendations with implications for policy-making and future academic inquiry.
