| Summary/Abstract |
Despite their common history, Central Europeans have never had a coordinated or consistent position on the issue of European defence and are now, in fact, drifting further apart. Today, some states consider themselves exposed to a threat from Russia while others do not have the same perception and are even moving towards closer cooperation with Moscow. However, the most important factor shaping the positions of Central Europeans is the current, still very loose state of the European Union’s defence policy. As long as the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) remains focused on providing security and stability to other parts of the world and weak on defending the EU area, Central Europeans will refrain from truly committing to it.

| Summary/Abstract |
The EU and the US, mainly through NATO, have been successful in securing peace and prosperity in Europe during the Cold War and in promoting peace beyond Europe after 1990. With the emergence of new powers and the rise of multipolarity, however, it is no longer apparent that transatlantic relations are indispensable and ways must be found to make sure that the relationship remains relevant. The EU and the US currently relate poorly to each other and as a result do not obtain the best possible outcome from their combined resources. Two elements are key to improving transatlantic relations: an inclusive policy towards Turkey (in the strategic interests of both the EU and the US); and more permanent and workable structures suited to the realities of the 21st century.

| Summary/Abstract |
There is no doubt that publication of a new EU foreign policy and security strategy was long overdue. Thirteen years have passed since the publication of the EU Security Strategy, which was adopted by the EU of 15 member states. Since then the EU has grown in size, its membership has almost doubled; its geostrategic centre has shifted towards the centre of the continent and the EU’s External Action Service has been established. It also goes without saying that we are in a manifestly different political reality in the EU and in the world today than we were 13 years ago. It is naturally far from ideal that the European Global Strategy was published a day after the British voters opted in favour of leaving the EU, but no timing is ever ideal and I have no doubt that, whilst the exact format remains to be determined, the UK will remain involved in EU security and foreign policy.
