The present dissertation approaches the dynamic between the wide array of relations established in the Mediterranean, propelling these region’s European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) relations towards a securitization/defence framework. By analyzing the actions derived from the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), carried by the European External Action Service (EEAS), as well as the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) and their relationship between different actors, this thesis intends on theorizing the means through which a stronger cooperation between EU Member State's and those presently engaged in the ENP-Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) relations can carry the goals and responsibilities that we succumb to yearly in matters of migration, namely the Central Mediterranean route. Comprehending the weight of diplomatic engagements in the enhancement of EU security, what are the missing links that prevent the conduction of a prosperous and developed governance of the Mediterranean in matters of security and defence?
