L’approche globale à l’européenne. L’impact des rivalités inter-institutionnelles sur la gestion de crise européenne en Somalie

This article seeks to assess how the rivalries between European players within the external policy field have shaped a European model of crisis management in Somalia. Drawing on data collected in the field through interviews, this article advocates for taking into account the conflictual strategies of European actors in European foreign policy analysis. In this context, two results are elaborated to explain some of the specificities of the European approach, respectively on the autonomy of the humanitarian policy and on the strategic objectives of the EU’s action in Somalia.
