02 Mar Policy Brief no.1 – A CSDP mission in Syria?
The first CDE4Peace policy brief is now available!
Policy Brief no.1 from the CDE4Peace project makes the case for a focussed EU mission in Syria under the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) with two primary objectives: counter-terrorism capacity building and information gathering on foreign fighters. The introduction of methods for Concept development and experimentation (CD&E) in the mission planning process could be helpful for defining a more realistic mission mandate and a clear exit strategy.
