Introduction and basic arguments -- 1. The anatomy of EU security -- 2. The European Union as a historical phenomenon -- 3. European defence : the state of the Union -- 4. The European security strategy revisited -- 5. Lessons from the field -- 6. A question of political Will -- 7. The making of a small power -- 8. The EU unde3r multipolarity -- Conclusion : the purpose of EU power.

The post-Cold War period is coming to an end. After a decade of foreign policy integration Europe faces multipolarity internally divided and externally weak. Toje argues that due to the lack of a workable decision-making mechanism the EU is destined to play the limited but distinct role of a small power in global politics.
