This publication analyzes the European contribution to state-building. The authors advocate rethinking many practices and assumptions, but still see the ability for the EU to improve global security. The turning of fragile and failed states into strong and stable ones is identified as the most difficult security challenge. The essays make the case that Europe must take the lead in improving the effectiveness of post-conflict reconstruction, to maximize its international influence and carve out a distinctive world role.
