(Redirected from European Institute for Security Studies)
The 'European Union Institute for Security Studies' ('EUISS'), an
agency of the European Union, came into being on
July 20 2001 as a replacement to the ''Western European Union Institute for Security Studies'' (established in July 1990). The EUISS was made into an independent agency in January 2002.
The institute represents a part of the transfer of functions from the
Western European Union to the
European Union, and more specifically to the
Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), under whose auspices it is an autonomous agency with intellectual freedom. It seeks to find a common security policy for the EU. It both researches and debates issues, and engages in dialogue with other
European non-member nations and with
Canada and the
United States of America. The institute also offers analyses to the
Council of the European Union and to
Javier Solana,
High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy.
