This is an open access book. With the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine, European security has been put on high alert. The implications of the Russian military invasion are many and difficult to grasp in full. However, the need for greater European strategic autonomy appears increasingly evident. The book argues that strategic autonomy may be reached—also in the short run—if differentiated integration is seen as an asset rather than a challenge. While the EU (together with NATO) remains the core in such a system, there is a multitude sub-regional integration processes that need to be taken into account to get the full idea of how European strategic autonomy can be achieved.

This book elaborates on the assumption that the European Union (EU) actorness might be shifting from normative to geopolitical and strategic focus. Over the past few years, the EU has faced growing challenges such as disruptions in its vicinity, diffusion of global power, and renewed geopolitical competition. These external pressures have significantly impacted the EU, prompting it, among other measures, to announce a “Geopolitical Commission.” Academic literature has acknowledged the EU’s shift from normative power to an increasingly geoeconomic and geopolitical approach. However, the notion of geopolitical actorness warrants closer scrutiny of its implications on foreign policy. This edited volume critically examines the EU’s evolving strategy in a changing world. It provides a conceptual framework for rethinking the Union’s global role and the renewal of foreign policy tools. The book offers a fresh and innovative perspective on whether the EU’s ambition to assert new geopolitical leadership is actually backed by the effective implementation of policies and strategies needed to address emerging global challenges.

This book offers a sustained, historically grounded analysis of the identity factor in China-Europe relations. The identity of the modern Chinese state was forged in the context of European emissaries, gunboats, and books. The effects still shape China’s policies towards Europe today, as it becomes a focal point in the great power competition between the US and China. The author argues that identity dilemmas are central to Chinese Europe policies, both past and present. This is reflected in the two-pronged composition of the book; one historical section, combined and complemented with one contemporary section. Case studies of three key political flashpoints between the EU, individual European countries, and China over the last two decades, demonstrates the contemporary relevance of a set of identity issues whose deep roots are uncovered through analysing Chinese political texts from the preceding two centuries. Aimed primarily at scholars and students of Chinese and European international relations, this book will also be of interest to scholars of ontological security theory, constructivism, and other identity-driven approaches to international politics.

This edited volume aims to address the gaps in research on the United Nations (UN)'s participation in intergovernmental relationships by delving into the working mechanisms of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The book offers a novel overview of the voting procedures of the UNSC and related outcomes in practice; most significantly, it examines members' voting behaviour, veto power, power dynamics, and diplomatic means of sponsoring resolutions and forming coalitions in the Council. It also analyses the role of small, emerging, and regional powers inside the UNSC, alongside their trajectory into the power dynamics of this UN body. It assesses the intertwined relationship between the UN and the European Union (EU). Each chapter demonstrates the challenges and the workings of multilateralism in one of the most significant organisations for global cooperation.

This book analyses how the European Union (EU) has dealt with crises and conflicts, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Iran’s nuclear dispute and Syria’s civil war, to understand the peculiar nature of its role in international security. Rather than focusing on the institutional set‐up of the EU’s foreign and security policy, the authors look at the ‘outer’ world, concentrating on crises and conflicts impinging on Europe’s security. They argue that the EU and its member states’ policies are constrained by systemic factors such as acute geopolitical rivalries and the fragmentation of regional governance systems, as well as by multi‐source internal contestation of policies across member states. Hence, building on pragmatist‐informed analysis they show that the EU’s actorness in international security is first and foremost constituted by interactions with its domestic and systemic context, and as such it should be understood as a ‘relational power’. This volume will be of great use to scholars and students of International Relations, European Studies, Security, Conflict and Peace Studies, and Diplomacy Studies seeking to deepen their understanding of the subject.

This book explores how the European Union responds to the ongoing challenges to the liberal international order. These challenges arise both within the EU itself and beyond its borders, and put into question the values of free trade and liberal democracy. The book’s interdisciplinary approach brings together scholars from economics, law, and political science to provide a comprehensive analysis of how shifts in the international order affect the global position of the EU in dimensions such as foreign and security policy, trade, migration, populism, rule of law, and climate change. All chapters include policy recommendations which make the book particularly useful for decision makers and policy advisors, besides researchers and students, as well as for anyone interested in the future of the EU.

The EU’s international environment is increasingly characterized by power politics, great-power rivalry, ideological contestation and war. This has challenged the liberal-internationalist identity that has been at the heart of the EU since its birth. This book examines how the EU has responded to these new realities. It analyses the introduction of a flurry of concepts including European sovereignty, strategic autonomy, civilization, responsibility and strategic compass, and asks whether these signal a reconsideration of foreign policy objectives, a new strategic orientation or possibly a paradigm shift. The book develops a theoretical framework on policy paradigms, worldviews, grand strategy, strategic narratives and the drivers of institutional change followed by chapters on the anti-liberal challenge, the evolution of the EU framework of ideas, the search for grand strategy and strategic autonomy, the response to Russian aggression and imperial thinking, and continuity and change in EU unity, working groups, green leadership and strategic communication.

Taking a conceptual approach to European-Russian relations in the post–Cold War era, this book traces how each side's "ideal self" came into conflict with "fault lines" in international politics. Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine is not only a symptom of conflict taking over the European continent but also a point of no return that will be difficult to roll back. Could the state of conflict on the European continent have been avoided? To understand the nature and evolution of conflict with Russia, this book presents a theoretically informed discussion of the way relations between the European Union (EU) and Russia deteriorated beyond repair during the more than three decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union. First, the book develops the concept of ideal self of states and international organisations like the EU, which posits that a series of ideal perceptions about how the self should act in the world order drives the behaviour of states and their policymakers. Second, the book turns to the study of fault lines, or spaces of divergence in the world order that harbour the potential for conflict. With these two theoretical toolkits, the book shows how leaders in the EU and Russia, by February 2022, came to view conflict as a feasible, preferable, and possibly the only option available to them. Even though neither the EU nor Russia had desired conflict, both made little effort to avoid it. As a result, the European continent has sleepwalked into conflict, with the potential for that conflict to spill over from Europe and escalate beyond a point of no return between the West and its global challengers.

This book focuses on the European Union as an actor involved in the transnational Kurdish issue covering Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. It demonstrates that, instead of being simply a humanitarian actor in the issue, the EU has considered its bilateral interests with the four states in question as well as its extent of acceptance in approaching the Kurdish issue. It has combined its traditional humanitarian/normative consideration with its geopolitical interests in relation to strategies related to the four states. This book provides a unique perspective on the EU as an actor in the Kurdish issue and from a wider perspective, it provides interesting insights into the EU’s interactions with geopolitics, which has become the topic of a lively scholarly debate in recent years. The book is a resource for researchers and students studying the European Union as a global actor, and for governmental or non-governmental professionals dealing directly with, or having interest in, the EU and/or Kurdish affairs.
