The objective of security in European Union law: nexus between the common foreign and security policy (CFSP) and and the area of freedom, security and justice (AFSJ)

CFSP and AFSJ are two distinct areas of competence pursuing a priori distinct security objectives. This division of security no longer resists to current security threats with internal and external dimensions. Thus, the objective of security contributes to the overcoming of this division between the two areas and ultimately to the structuring of their articulation. The pursuit of the security objective involves multiple interactions between the normatif and operational instruments and requires the establishment of synergies between the institutional and operational actor of CFSP and AFSJ.
