ABSTRACT
Peacekeeping, security sector reform, elections preparation, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, etc, have intrastate, regional and global security significance. The EU is starting to act in Africa as a global military power. One important reason for the EU’s increasing military presence is to prevent or resolve conflicts so that people from the African crisis regions do not leave their areas and potentially head for Europe as a result of such conflicts. This strategy is a kind of trans-location of the EU borders from southern Europe to Northern, Eastern, Western and Southern Africa through military surveillance or long-term strategies of conflict prevention, conflict resolution, post conflict reconstruction and economic development.
