The list of means available to the EU for the prevention of conflict is long:development cooperation and external assistance, trade policy instruments, diplomatic instruments and political dialogue, cooperation with international partners and NGOs, as well as the new instruments in the field of crisis management. This article focuses on these measures, in line with the categorisation scheme used by the EU, delineating three types of prevention: operational, structural and systemic. The article describes the legal and policy framework for each type of measure and how they have been implemented. Where possible, it explores the impact and effectiveness of the measures on conflict prevention.
