Raluca - Oana Csernatoni

Raluca Csernatoni’s research interests include topics in International Relations Theory and Security Studies, sub-focusing on the problematic of security policy making, the interconnections between internal and external security, and the international political order post-9/11; and in European Union Studies, concentrating on the European Union’s (EU) new security challenges and policy developments within the framework of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP). In her PhD research, she aims to analyze the underpinning institutional condition (temporal, material, and normative) that have pioneered a European defence program in the EU, and to trace the evolutionary dynamics in the defence dimension that led to the creation of the European Defence Agency (EDA).

Dissertation title (provisional): “Constructing the Defence Dimension of the Common European Security and Defence Policy: An Assessment of the European Union’s Defence Policy”
