This seminar will analyse the implications of the European Union's domestic security policy on its relations with its neighbours. Among the subjects covered will be the institutional links between the Common Foreign and Security Policy, the European Security and Defence Policy and Cooperation in Justice and Domestic Issues in this field and the New Neighbourhood Policy. In particular, the seminar will carry out a comparative study of the effects on some of the states included in the Neighbourhood strategy, such as the Ukraine, Georgia and the countries of the Mediterranean.
The seminar forms part of the 'Challenge' project (The Changing Landscape of European Liberty and Security) financed by the 6th European Union framework programme for the study of issues related with Justice and the Interior. In addition to the Observatory of European Foreign Policy, 12 universities and study centres from throughout Europe are participating in the project. The seminar has been organised through direct collaboration with the London School of Economics and Political Science (the United Kingdom) and the University of Cologne (Germany), and it will feature speakers from half a dozen European countries.

The seminar will be held in English (no translation available).
