Building the future: the EU’s contribution to global governance
April 2007
European Union Institute for Security Studies
Abstract
How will global relations appear in ten years’ time? Will a peaceful global order prevail or will violence, war and weapons of mass destruction dominate the scene? What will the European Union be like in 2017? Can we Europeans do something to shape the future or are we going to be mere witnesses of developments that we are powerless to influence? These are the questions that this Chaillot Paper tries to explore and answer.
