A strategy for the European Union in the Post-Cold War international system: a third-party

Abstract:

This first paper of the Grand Strategy Project series describes the EU as being a third party more than a strategic actor. In a world that was unstable in 2010 due to its oligopolar structure and its heterogeneous nature, it is argued that the EU needed a “complete strategy” in order to reconcile maximum variety and diversity with maximum unity and integration; set up coordination with other actors; and develop strategic agility and strategic expectancy.
