Europe’s World

Policy Paradigms, Strategic Thinking and the Anti-Liberal Challenge

Edited by Knud Erik Jørgensen, Tonny Brems Knudsen and Laura Landorff

The EU’s international environment is increasingly characterized by power-politics, growing great-power rivalry and war on its borders. This has challenged the liberal-internationalist identity that has been at the heart of the European Union since its birth. This book analyses how the EU has responded to these new realities in world politics.
