This workshop is designed to elucidate the ethical consequence of the changes in the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) including the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) as a result of the progressive blurring of the internal/external borders and policy objectives. Within this overall objective, the workshop examines the value assumptions underlying traditional CFSP/ESDP objectives including SSR, rule of law and peace building more broadly; and contrasts these assumptions with the value premises underlying JHA that touch on CFSP (particularly counter-terrorism and border management) and that underline the increasing blurring between internal and external security objectives of EU external relations. In addition to a conceptual stock taking, the workshop also discusses the consequences of these potentially conflicting objectives in the field.
