Modules

The changing international geopolitical context has intensified focus on the European Union’s foreign, security and defence policies. The EU, in response to challenges within its own borders, in its wider region and beyond, published its Global Strategy for European Foreign and Security Policy in 2016 and the Strategic Compass for Security and Defence was formally adopted by the EU member states one month after the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The British referendum result and Brexit also challenged the EU’s identity as a strategic actor in international affairs.
