The final three papers are more detailed explorations of particularly important CSDP missions. Niklas Novaky (“Deploying Military Force under CSDP: The Case of EUFOR Althea”) presents a case study on the EU's military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Using collective action theory, he argues that Althea was deployed because various EU governments saw it as a lucrative joint product activity, i.e. a collective action producing both public and private goods. Sofia Sebastian (“The EU and Humanitarian Intervention: the Case of Libya”) concentrates on the links between the developments of CFSP/CSDP and the humanitarian intervention in Libya in 2011. By focusing on this military intervention, the paper aims to contribute to the debate on European defense and Europe’s ability to provide itself with defense and military capabilities in the midst of a financial crisis. Finally, Michael E. Smith (“EU Grand Strategy and the Ethics of Military Force: The Case of EUNAVFOR-Atalanta”) shows that if the EU generally faces recurring difficulties in projecting its various forms of power in a coherent fashion, the EU’s counter-piracy naval operation – EUNAVFOR-Atalanta – clearly breaks with this trend. He argues that the EU’s approach to ‘new security’ issues could become very important in light of current trends involving the role of non-state actors, the concept of ‘human’ security, and security aspects of globalization and development. By combining detailed case studies and theoretical generalization, this section gives a nuanced analysis of the current state of EU security policy, its inherent contingencies, and its underlying drivers.
