This volume addresses how and in what capacity the European Union and its member states are able to respond to fundamental shifts occurring in global politics and remain relevant for the future.
The changing nature of the international system is subject to considerable contestation among scholars, with many claiming that the fundamentals of the post-war international system are being rewritten. This volume brings together prominent scholars in the field of European security to address a range of pertinent issues related to Europes role in the context of evolving global challenges. The first section focuses on whether the EU is an actor with a strategic nature and the means to act on a global security strategy. The second section considers the institutional dynamics and the approaches at the EUs disposal to fulfil its possible intended global roles. The third section addresses Europes most important strategic relationshipthe partnership it has with the United States. This section considers the recalibration of the transatlantic relationship in light of the changing international system and the reorientation of U.S. foreign policy.
This book will be of much interest to students of European Union policy, European Security policy, European Foreign policy and International Relations in general.
This volume addresses how and in what capacity the European Union and its member states are able to respond to fundamental shifts occurring in global politics and are able to remain relevant for the future.
