Framing the EU Global Strategy

Nathalie Tocci is Deputy Director of Istituto Affari Internazionali, Italy, Special Adviser to HRVP Federica Mogherini, Honorary Professor at the University of Tubingen, and Editor of The International Spectator.

“The book shows why it was possible to agree such a document and build support for the implementation of some if its aims. It makes a stimulating read not just for EU foreign policy pundits, but also for those with an interest in how strategy is made. As a well-informed, wide-ranging and often frank assessment from behind the scenes of European strategy-making, it is a short but very rewarding read.” (Christoph Meyer, The RUSI Journal, Vol. 162 (6), January, 2018)
