Security Sector Reform (SSR) is a concept and activity of the democratic transformation of defence, justice and rule of law systems. In accordance with the United Nations approach, SSR is critical to the consolidation of peace and stability, promoting poverty reduction, rule of law and good governance, extending legitimate state authority and preventing countries from relapsing into conflict. Over the last few decades, with many countries evolving and developing democratic processes, the concept has gained interest and popularity in international organisations and states heading towards a positive change. In the past, full SSR activities had been successfully conducted in central and east European post-communist countries. Nowadays, the process is carried out among African and Middle East countries, in some of them this being extremely challenging. A considerable degree of complexity characterizes the SSR processes. For this reason, a great deal of effort has been exerted with the aim of normalising rules and conditions for conducting SSR. The purpose of these activities is to ensure the widest possible effect of the use of scarce expert resources. SSR is a relatively new area of expertise suffering from a scarcity of literature presenting theory in conjunction with practice. During the research conducted it was assumed that, in spite of a wide array of actions to be executed within SSR in different states, they should be interconnected by a general model which would ensure the greatest effect. The aim of this essay is to present selected theoretical aspects of SSR, essential for increasing the effectiveness of the reforms conducted, illustrated with a practical example of the SSR process in Egypt.

The European Union is an international organization with a global reach, involved in world politics and the creation of order and security, fighting for respect for democratic principles and human rights. From the date of its formal establishment it has undergone many changes, including defence, becoming over time an active player in the global security scene. An important point on the way to the conducting of foreign operations by the European Union was the signing of the Petersburg Declaration, the signatories of which were the Member States of the Western European Union, founded in 1954 and which was marginalized in favour of NATO for almost 40 years.A very important tool for strengthening the political role is to engage in conducting crisis management operations, which in the case of the European Union may take one of two forms: civilian missions or military operations. Since the inception of the Common Security and Defence Policy up to the beginning of 2012, the European Union conducted 23 civilian and military operations. If you consider that the first of them – the police mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina, was launched in January 2003, the number of EU projects in the eight years can be regarded as significant. The analysis shows that efforts have so far been focused on conducting civilian missions and that they will be the basic form of the European Union crisis management operations in the future.In this article the author describes the main steps in setting up the Common Security and Defence Policy, provides the reader with a descriptive process of integrated planning and crisis management, considering the nature and various aspects of civilian crisis management missions.

In 1999, soon after the European Union member states had decided to establish the European Security and Defence Policy, the processes of appointing adequate tools for its accomplishment also started. Decisions were made to create organs and institutions and to elaborate appropriate procedures which would enable fast and precise decision-making of planning and conduct in the field of security and defence. Since that time the European Union and its Security and Defence Policy have evolved in many aspects and are still evolving. Security researchers currently attempt to provide the answer to an important problem: what are the trends characterising changes in the Common Security and Defence Policy of the European Union. The author, basing on research and own experiences of work in the politico-strategic planning structures of the European External Action Service, analyses current trends in the Common Security and Defence Policy, especially regarding the evolution of the Union’s organs and institutions, crisis management procedures, implementation of comprehensive approach and tendencies in the newly-deployed missions. This material is a result of extensive discussions and consultations conducted within a broad international and interinstitutional crisis management environment. It is based on interviews with high-level subject-related personnel and the listed bibliography. Kiedy państwa członkowskie Unii Europejskiej w 1999 r. jednomyślnie podjęły decyzję o ustanowieniu europejskiej polityki bezpieczeństwa i obrony, przystąpiły jednocześnie do tworzenia odpowiednich narzędzi, służących do jej realizacji. Zdecydowano o powołaniu organów i instytucji oraz wypracowaniu procedur, które umożliwiłyby szybkie i precyzyjne podejmowanie decyzji dotyczących planowania i prowadzenia działań w obszarze bezpieczeństwa i obrony. Od tamtego czasu Unia Europejska, a także jej polityka bezpieczeństwa i obrony przeszły szereg przeobrażeń i nadal ewoluuje. Specjaliści z zakresu nauk o bezpieczeństwie usiłują dziś udzielić odpowiedzi na istotny problem: jakie trendy charakteryzują kierunki zmian we wspólnej polityce bezpieczeństwa i obrony Unii Europejskiej? Autor, na podstawie badań i doświadczeń własnych z pracy w strukturach planowania poziomu polityczno-strategicznego Europejskiej Służby Działań Zewnętrznych, analizuje bieżące trendy we wspólnej polityce bezpieczeństwa i obrony, dotyczące między innymi ewolucji unijnych organów i instytucji, procedur zarządzania kryzysowego, wdrażania podejścia zintegrowanego oraz tendencji w nowo powoływanych misjach reagowania kryzysowego. Niniejsze opracowanie jest wynikiem obszernych dyskusji i konsultacji przeprowadzonych z szerokim międzynarodowym i międzyinstytucjonalnym forum zarządzania kryzysowego. Bazuje na wywiadach i rozmowach z personelem wyższego szczebla, literaturze przedmiotu i wskazanej bibliografii.
