Europe has suffered a decade of crises, with sovereign-debt
troubles leading to austerity policies that exacerbated divisions
inside member states and between them. Thereafter the Union was
confronted with the challenges posed by a revanchist Russia in
Ukraine and by a surge in migration from the Middle East and other
conflict zones. The June 2016 UK vote to leave the Union threatened
further damage to an institution that acknowledges it has failed to
punch its weight in the spheres of foreign, defence and security
policy. While that is a chronic shortcoming, its impact is becoming
more acute as economic power moves East and Europe can no longer
count on the steadfast support and leadership of the United States.
The costs of Europe's failure to achieve strategic coherence and
effect are steadily rising. This Adelphi book addresses the
consequences of Europe's multiple crises for its standing as a
strategic actor, acknowledging its unique character and
capabilities. It argues that strategic thought and action is
belatedly being informed by the deteriorating security environment,
and that nascent initiatives have the potential to effect a
step-change. There are grounds for cautious optimism, visible in
the success of stabilisation and counter-piracy operations as well
as coordinated diplomatic activity. Also, the continent's leading
powers are becoming more pragmatic about how cooperation is
organised within and beyond the Union. These developments offer the
possibility that Europe might meet its aspirations to be a
strategic actor of consequence, despite a long-track record of
disappointment and the still-considerable obstacles that lie in its
path.
