The author has sought in this book to analyse the strengths and
weaknesses of European Union foreign policy making. His main
conclusions are that the the Union policy making machinery needs to
be considerably strengthened to face up to the increased challenges
of today. The reliance on a consensus in foreign policy making will
no longer suffice and that more majority voting will become
essential. Moreover policy making will increasingly need to rely on
principle which will be the best way to arrive at a common approach
given the divided nature of the interests and historical
backgrounds of the member states of the Union. Finally while soft
power and engagement have constituted the main thrust of European
policy, this will no longer suffice in a world in which we are
seeing the emergence of powerful autocracies and military threats.
This will increase the need for more hard power and the
consolidation of European military forces which will strengthen our
military alliances.
