Title: | Progressive realism and the EU’s international actorness: towards a grand strategy? | Authors: | Barrinha, André | Keywords: | Classical realism; Grand strategy; European external relations; Normative power; Europe; European security | Issue Date: | Feb-2016 | Publisher: | Taylor & Francis | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of European Integration | Volume: | 38 | Issue: | 4 | Abstract: | The EU lacks a coherent strategy to guide its international actions. This is a problem that has been amply discussed in both academic and policy-making circles, but that remains to be fully addressed. The December 2013 European Council recognised the issue, and the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini is in charge of a strategic review that will lead to a global strategy by June 2016. Most arguments in favour of a grand strategy rely on utilitarian arguments that highlight the EU’s potential for a more efficient foreign policy. By linking a progressive realist approach to the importance of an EU grand strategy, this article intends to demonstrate the normative need for such a guiding document. As it will be argued, a grand strategy is a necessary step in the consolidation of the EU as a pluralist post-national polity that has in the fulfilment of its citizens’ interests its raison d’être. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/36341 | ISSN: | 0703-6337 1477-2280 |
