| Summary: | The debate of scholars in the field of international relations in last years has put the
European Union’s role into the consideration. The European Foreign and Security Policy has
positioned itself through its development to the constructive and normative line of research of world
politics. With this respect, this article examines a character of crisis management of the European
Common Foreign Policy based on the institutional development. Besides the European Union does
not possess a unified foreign and security policy, regardless one army and single institutional
mechanism, the recent crisis management actions have shaped the policies into a comprehensive
nature. The paper overviews briefly the history of Common Foreign and Security Policy as well as
Common Security and Defence Policy and focuses on crisis management of civilian and military
missions. The author claims that the development has a significant impact on a character of crisis
management analyzed from the institutional and financial capacities of the European Security and
Defence Policy. Consequently, the character of crisis management performs complex mechanisms of
responsive, political/administrative, legal, economic and human help to crisis-affected territories in
the world. Respectfully, the character of crisis management has thus more pre-crisis nature of a
resilience.
