Europe’s Grand Strategy
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-60522-3 (ISBN)
This book proposes that the European Union should craft a grand strategy to navigate the new world order based on a four-pronged approach. First, European decision-makers (both in Brussels and across EU capitals) should take a broader view of their existential interests at stake and devote greater time and resources to serving them within the wider cause of the liberal order. Second, Europe needs to help reinvigorate the West by restoring a sense of solidarity through fairer distribution of benefits and burdens. Third, it should develop separate strategies for parts of the world, such as Russia and China, where liberal values are not likely to be attainable in the foreseeable future yet order is still necessary. Fourth, Europe needs to clarify its core interests elsewhere and help stabilize the Middle East and Africa. With this book, the author seeks to lay the essential building blocks for developing a European strategy, which is a complex process involving multiple decision-makersand institutions.
Bart Szewczyk serves as Adviser on Global Affairs at the European Political Strategy Centre, the European Commission's in-house think-tank reporting to President Jean-Claude Juncker, where he focuses on international order, defence, geoeconomics, transatlantic relations, Russia and Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa, and China and Asia.

"Europe's grand strategy is a unique and bold work. ... the book is a valuable contribution to scholarly debates on European studies. It is also a timely testament to the weight and ambition of the EU's Strategic compass and the visions European bureaucrats have incorporated into the strategy." (Mahmoud Javadi, International Affairs, Vol. 98 (4), 2022)
