Unlike the numerous United Nations security missions that<br />European states had previously contributed to, these were part of a grand strategy<br />designed to link the African Union and the European Union in a process of transregionalism<br />defined as a unique organisational infrastructure (joint secretariat for<br />research, policy planning, preparation and coordination of meetings and<br />implementation of decisions). The rationale being that security and its associated<br />peace and stability are the basis for sustainable development in other areas.
