The analysis focusses on two issues: The formation of the EU's common security and defence policy, and the development of a mechanism to provide and coordination of aid in of disasters. The analysis is guided by data obtained by the Eurobarometer and Slovenian Public Opinion surveys. The descriptive use of the data offers an insight into the basic standpoints, opinions and beliefs of the European and particularly the Slovenian public about the EU's security efforts. The results display high public support for those efforts, but at the same time reveal the public is not well informed about security issues. They also show some controversies. According to the public, the decision-making process on security issues should take place in EU institutions whereas the latter insist on a common security and defence policy as an inter-governmental process. Further, the public gives relatively strong support for traditional military missions (defence of the EU territory and provision of peace in the EU) whereas in practice the EU performs crisis management, humanitarian and peace operations outside its territory. On the other hand, a "future European Army" that could perform traditional military tasks lacks sufficient public support. Finally, the public is relatively poorly informed about the EU's civil protection mechanism yet at the same time gives high support for its activitiesVarnostna prizadevanja Evropske unije se krepijo, zato v analizi preverjamo stopnjo njihove podpore v evropski javnosti. Analiza se osredotoča na dve vprašanji, in sicer na oblikovanje skupne varnostne in obrambne politike ter na razvoj mehanizma za usklajevanje in zagotavljanje pomoči ob nesrečah. Analizo usmerjajo podatki, pridobljeni v raziskavah Eurobarometer in Slovensko javno mnenje, njihova deskriptivna obravnava pa ponuja vpogled v temeljna stališča, mnenja in prepričanja evropske in posebej slovenske javnosti o varnostnih prizadevanjih EU. Rezultati pokažejo visoko podporo javnosti tem prizadevanjem, hkrati pa razkrivajo njeno sorazmerno slabo obveščenost o varnostnih temah in tudi določena protislovja. Tako na primer ugotavljamo, da bi odločanje o varnostnih vprašanjih po mnenju javnosti moralo potekati v institucijah EU, slednja pa vztraja na skupni varnostni in obrambni politiki kot na medvladnem procesu. Naprej, javnost daje sorazmerno visoko podporo tradicionalnim vojaškim nalogam (obramba ozemlja EU in zagotavljanje miru v EU), medtem ko EU v praksi izvaja operacije kriznega upravljanja, mirovne in humanitarne operacije zunaj svojega ozemlja. Bodoča "evropska vojska", ki bi tradicionalne vojaške naloge lahko izvajala, pa v javnosti še nima zadostne podpore. In ne nazadnje, javnost je sorazmerno slabo obveščena o mehanizmu civilne zaščite EU, hkrati pa njegovim dejavnostim daje zelo visoko podporoTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za družbene vede
