The European Union Common Security and Defence Policy (EU CSDP) is currently undergoing the institutional transformation. The CSDP is the crucial component of the EU’s organizational structure, designed for the promotion of European integration in the spheres of security and defence. The EU security and defence is often regarded as an inalienable part of NATO security and defence. However, the current trends, such as the evolving of the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), implementation of the Strategic Compass, or the plan for achieving strategic autonomy, promote the position of the European Union as one of hard power centers on the international stage. The shift from normative to military power in the EU’s foreign policy signifies a completely new era in the regional security complex. The article explores the dynamic of the CSDP marked by the adoption of “Shared Vision, Common Action: A Stronger Europe” – the global strategy for the European Union’s Foreign And Security Policy, – and of the Strategic Compass for Security and Defence. The author examines the current trends in the EU CSDP, such as the creation and evolution of the Military Planning and Conduct Capability (MPCC) and a possibility of its turn into a fully operated EU military headquarter, the development of the PESCO as a contribution to the European military-industrial complex, and the recent adoption of the Civilian CSDP Compact. The trends are regarded through the methodology of “collective securitization”. The author provides the analysis of its applicability for the examination of the CSDP, highlighting the key steps and factors influencing the process, such as effective security governance and common identity in the sphere of security and defence.
