The future of the CFSP and ESDP after the enlargement

In the past decade there have been significant changes in the world order. Arising terrorism, possible nuclear arms race, escalating regional conflicts, state failure and organised crime are considerable factors in the global world. The European Union has to answer for these challenges, by the recent enlargements, representing the population of the rest of Europe. The Common Foreign and Security Policy, and the relatively recently born European Security and Defence Policy are the tools for the EU to act, to prevent and to fight against these problems. . In the widened European Union, the decision making procedures are more difficult, reaching a common consensus is even harder. In my work I look over some problematic questions regarding the future prospects of the EU. In the negative wave of the constitutional referenda, questions emerge: what are the possibilities for the ESDP/CFSP in order to not to be stopped in their developing process? The disagreement in the future institutional reforms will have a break on the development of the EU?
