ABSTRACT
From 2003 to 2010 the European Union (EU) engaged militarily to contribute to the management of conflicts in Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Chad and the Central African Republic (CAR). This chapter takes stock of their success. It first develops a definition and a set of criteria for success in military conflict management. It then goes on to evaluate each of the five operations and comparatively assesses the EU's performance in military conflict management to date. 1
