In Search of a Structure: The EU's Foreign Policy Strategy against the Background of a Missing Global Order

In: European view: EV, Volume 8, Issue 2, p. 285-292

Abstract

Algieri and Kammel describe the evolution of the global power structure after the end of the Cold War equilibrium between the United States and the Soviet Union. The 1990s represented a period of intense global change marked by two realities: the dominant role of the US and the difficulty of defining a multipolar balance. The establishment of a multipolar equilibrium will necessarily include Asia's growing forces—India and China—and Russia, whereas the role of the EU remains uncertain.
