This study provides an in-depth analysis of the Instrument for Stability
(IfS), a new European Community (EC) external relations instrument,
which came into force on 1 January 2007. Today, the IfS is the
EC’s main policy tool for rapidly funding assistance to countries in situations
of (emerging) crisis and natural disaster. It also constitutes the
Community’s flagship to address what has been called the ‘securitydevelopment
nexus’. The IfS provides the Community with additional
financial capacities in crisis management, and it addresses a number of
legal issues, which have complicated operations within the grey area
between traditional foreign and development policies to date.
