In a world that has returned to great power rivalry, understanding the grand strategy of these powers is crucial. This book introduces ten key terms for analysing grand strategy and shows how the world's great powers - the United States, China, Russia and the European Union (EU) - shape their strategic decisions today. Outlining the steps needed for a less confrontational grand strategy and a more peaceful and stable world order, this lively and accessible introduction shows how the choices made in each of these ten areas will determine the course of world politics in the first half of the 21st century.

Analyses the shifts in the structure of global power and examines the threats and opportunities they bring to Europe. In this book, leading European contributors examine perceptions of the EU among the emerging powers and the true meaning and nature of any strategic partnerships negotiated.

Examines the idea of military integration in Europe by elaborating on the possible size and composition of a 'European army' and assessing in detail how it can be achieved. This book is suitable for students of military studies, European Politics and Strategic Studies.

Examines how the European Security Strategy can form the basis of a comprehensive approach that integrates dimensions of EU external action, from aid and trade to defence, under the agenda of 'effective multilateralism' or global governance. This agenda can be translated into the core public goods to which every individual on earth is entitled.
