This fact sheet explains what the common security and defence policy (CSDP) is and how it works, and outlines how it is governed. It gives an overview of the main policies that fall under the CSDP and their aims, as well as how these have developed in recent years, notably in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The key objectives of CSDP missions and operations are also addressed, as is the European Parliament’s role in scrutinising and contributing to the policy.
