This article addresses the developments involved in the creation of a framework for the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP). The author examines the tools available under the Second Pillar of the EU, including the publication of a European Security Strategy supported by an attendant institutional infrastructure, to the deployment of Rapid Reaction Forces for large-scale military operations, and the introduction of battle groups that can be moved to respond to crisis situations at very short notice.
