The new edition of the HANDBOOK ON CSDP was presented on 18 May 2017 at the Foreign Affairs Council on Defence by the defence ministers from Austria and Cyprus. In the meantime, the handbook was distributed in various Council working groups, such as the EU Military Committee (31 May) and the Politico-Military Group (7 June).

Over its 230 pages, the handbook gives a comprehensive overview of the state of affairs of the European Union's common security and defence policy. The nine chapters were written by European experts on security and defence, both from Brussels-based institutions and from EU Member States.

Chapter 2: Roles and responsibilities (Gabor Iklody, Luis Amorim, Diego de Ojeda, Jerome Legrand, Arnold Kammel, Pedro Serrano)

Chapter 8: Capability development (Herbert Sailer, Sabine Mengelberg, Christos Malikkides)

Chapter 9: Training and education (Horst Koukhol, Dirk Dubois, Harald Gell, Jochen Rehrl)

The handbook aims at students of the European Security and Defence College, but high-ranking officials also read the handbook with great interest. 'The present handbook already serves as a reference document for the present and future experts on the common security and defence policy', concluded the editor-in-chief of the publication, Jochen Rehrl. Due to the high demand, a reprint of about 2000 copies had to be ordered by the Austrian Armed Forces Printing Centre in Vienna.
