| Summary/Abstract |
The long-awaited European Union Global Strategy (EUGS) came out at a crucial time of a major geopolitical change: immediately after the Brexit referendum. The Brexit itself, as Nathalie Tocci stated, has hardly affected the content of the EUGS, although it has triggered a profound crisis in the EU. The principles and the positions of the EU at 27 should and shall remain basically the same as at 28. However, no one can deny that the Brexit can fundamentally reduce or change the capacity of the EU in fulfilling its global strategic goals. This was made very clear by Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the Commission, in her speech to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, as well as in the words and lines of the EUGS.
