Abstract
In 2013, the EU issued its 'Comprehensive Approach to external conflict and crisis'. This Comprehensive Approach (CA)1 has become a new buzzword in the Brussels hub. It is the EU's response to complex crises and was first put into practice in the Sahel region after the fall of Khadafi and the resulting crisis in Mali. In this article, we aim to contribute to the academic literature on the analysis of comprehensive approaches by proposing an analytical model along with indicators. This is particularly interesting since the comprehensive approach requires coherence and a high level of coordination among different policies, something which the EU has always been struggling with. We will also apply this analytical model to the EU's actions in the Sahel, since this is the first region where the EU introduced this new approach. Conclusions about the Sahel might thus give an indication about how the EU's comprehensive approach will look like elsewhere (e.g. the Horn of Africa). |
