Since 2000, the European Union has been developing civilian capabilities for use in civilian missions, including postconflict and other environments. The EU has deployed civilian experts in a variety of capacities to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo, as well as other countries in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. As the United States assesses and develops its own civilian capabilities, it will be important to understand what the EU is capable of doing in this area. This report looks at the record of EU civilian operations so far, drawing conclusions both for the United States and Europe.
