This shift from an approach centred \u00a0mainly around crisis management means the EU is entering \u00a0a space occupied by several other actors, including some EU \u00a0member states, allied states\u2014notably the United States\u2014and what the EU refers to as its \u2018strategic competitors\u2019. The shift is a rapid evolution that is occurring against a backdrop of volatility in US foreign policy and intensifying strategic competition in the EU\u2019s broader neighbourhood. Together, these trends raise important questions about how the EU compares to other external actors as a provider of military assistance.<\/p>\n<p>To address these questions, SIPRI has produced three fact sheets <span>that map<\/span> military assistance provided by the EU and other external actors to states in the broader European neighbourhood. The fact sheets will feed into a larger study into the effectiveness of the EU\u2019s military assistance to partner states and its coherence with that of EU member states. This fact sheet provides an overview of the EU\u2019s and other external actors\u2019 military assistance to the EU\u2019s Southern Neighbourhood in 2010\u201325.<\/p>\n<p>Download the centerfold <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Centerfold_South_A3.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>This publication was\u00a0realized in the context of the project \u2018Safeguarding Common Interests:\u00a0The EU\u2019s Military Assistance to Partner Countries\u2019, which is funded by Stiftung Mercator.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S)\/EDITORS<\/h3>\n<div class=\"dynamic-block-fieldnode-commentary-about-the-authors field--label-hidden\">\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item\">\n<div class=\"views-element-container\">\n<div class=\"js-view-dom-id-76264165af86bf9e1db12addfe1252a1efcd928e391fbac388e483ad73496949\">\n<div class=\"views-row\">\n<div class=\"views-field views-field-field-image\">\n<div class=\"field-content\">  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/about\/bios\/zain-hussain\" hreflang=\"en\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/thumbnail\/public\/2023-10\/2f367b81-7184-42b1-9b8b-3cc497180206_1_201_a.jpeg?itok=lPVGttYk\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" alt=\"Zain Hussain\"><\/p>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"views-field views-field-body\">\n<div class=\"field-content\"> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/about\/bios\/zain-hussain\" hreflang=\"en\">Zain Hussain<\/a> is a Researcher in the SIPRI Arms Transfers Programme.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"sipri-2016-cookiesui\" class=\"block block-cookies\">\n<div id=\"cookiesjsr\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" id=\"back-to-top\" href=\"#\" class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg back-to-top\" role=\"button\" title=\"Click to return to the top of the page\" data-toggle=\"tooltip\" data-placement=\"left\"><br \/>\n<i class=\"fa fa-chevron-circle-up fa-4x\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><br \/>\n  <\/section>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/publications\/2026\/partner-publications\/military-assistance-provided-eu-and-other-external-actors-eus-southern-neighbourhood-2010-25?rand=6456\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breadcrumb Publications search Military Assistance Provided by the EU and Other External Actors to the EU\u2019s Southern Neighbourhood, 2010\u201325 Zain Hussain June 2026 Stockholm SIPRI DOWNLOAD FULL PUBLICATION Strengthening the military capabilities of European Union (EU) partner states, including by providing weapons, has become an important element of the EU\u2019s approach to peace and security over the past five years.&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":99099,"featured_media":9376,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"tags":[2820,668,2549,1808,578,2821,1018],"ground_category":[315,317],"class_list":["post-9375","ground_post","type-ground_post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-actors","tag-assistance","tag-eus","tag-external","tag-military","tag-neighbourhood","tag-southern","ground_category-2-grounds-tribulation","ground_category-2-2-time-dispute"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/mercator_south_cover.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/godshand.link\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ground_post\/9375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/godshand.link\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ground_post"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/godshand.link\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ground_post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godshand.link\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/99099"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godshand.link\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/godshand.link\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ground_post\/9375\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godshand.link\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/godshand.link\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godshand.link\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9375"},{"taxonomy":"ground_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godshand.link\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ground_category?post=9375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
