In an era of global power shift, new security challenges are emerging, while traditional ones require innovative multilateral solutions. In the face of these systemic shifts, Murray and Weiss analyse how the United States and the European Union are responding and adjusting to the changing global security panorama.

Transworld Paper No. 27

by Tomáš Weiss

This paper analyzes the European Union’s adjustment to the current international security environment. It focuses on the selected issues of terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, cyber-security, and failed states. Moreover, it addresses the EU’s engagement of emerging powers, as well as the tools and practices used when approaching other states. Structural and political determinants of the EU adjustment as well as the internal constrains of this process are discussed. The paper concludes that the EU has failed to become a leader in global security policy, although it has adjusted profoundly, it commands considerable capabilities, and it has the potential to play a much more important role. The lack of international leadership can be understood as a function of weak internal institutions and the conflicting interests among the member states.
