Concept note

This event will provide an excellent opportunity to exchange and discuss the development-security nexus which has become a central concept for the EU and for other international actors. The importance of the link between development and security is broadly accepted, however, nexus is one of the most controversial issues when it comes to budget divisions and in operational terms. A clear distinction between security and development could avoid misplacement of development resources. Other decision-makers are in favour of “a strong component of security in developing countries”, embedded in development. Against this backdrop, the seminar would like to offer the possibility to discuss the latest evolutions of the development-security nexus in EU policies and in the MFF. The speakers will also discuss the operationality of the nexus, the opportunities that offer and the main recent challenges.

The event was held via WEBEX platform.
