Summary/Abstract: This article looks closely at CDSP: what it is, what it came from and how it will and should work for the European Union. It will examine the 2016 EU Global Strategy that lays out the strategy for the CSDP, while the Lisbon Treaty clarifies the institutional aspects and strengthens the role of the European Parliament. The CSDP has recently undergone major strategic and operational changes while taking into account Brexit’s security implications. It is continuing to evolve to meet security challenges and demand for increased EU responses in the constantly changing security environment where irregular and hybrid threats grow. To improve rapid response capabilities an integrated defence structure could and should result in building of a common European army in the near future.
