Resumo

The article consists of a literature review on comprehensive approach guided by five dimensions from a conceptual focus to the application of comprehensive approach. This includes an examination of concepts, security challenges, impact, EU international level of ambition and implementation by Member States. With this purpose, the study aims at first, to examine the conceptual boundaries of comprehensive approach by considering in literature how researchers select particular effects of comprehensiveness to define the concept. Second, to analyze the security challenges inherent to comprehensive approach. Third, to examine how comprehensive approach is part of the EU transformative project needed to tackle crisis comprehensively. Fourth, to assess how the definition of level of ambition determines a more comprehensive role for the EU. Fifth, reviews the literature on the implementation processes of comprehensive approach from the perspective of national agencies and agents of selected EU Member States.
