The features of construction and operation of regional security complex that has emerged in Europe are investigated. The basis of this complex is the European Union, whose nature is claimed security at work.Particular attention is paid to the peculiarities of the inner self-security space, as well as environmental factors influence the dynamics of the securitization processes. Phased development of the region is fed through the prism of constructivist view of security processes, allowing one to focus on various aspects of security that are specific to the global world of today and were characterized before. It is the economic, informational, social, and security in its classic military-political sense. The focus of research is the regional security complex as an analytical unit that represents a group of actors of international relations whose securitization and desecuritization processes are so linked that they can not be properly analyzed and studied separately. Analytical approach to the relations of the European regional security complex with third countries and with other security complex allows you to identify the links between security strategy and the practical politics.
