EU's Strategic Partnerships


ANNE SCHMIDT of the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (German Institute for International and Security Affairs) reviews the debate on 'strategic partnerships' within the EU in the wake of the guiding principles drawn up for the strategic partnership format. In a working paper for SWP, "Strategic Partnerships – a contested policy concept", she reviews recent publications within the EU to recommends that the EU itself had to develop into a strategic actor and achieve  the stated goal of effective multilateralism as well as reconciling the EU’s broad normative concerns with its narrower interests.
