What does European Strategic Autonomy mean? Read our first articles on European Strategic Autonomy of our joint project in cooperation with the Foundation of European Progressive Studies and the Foundation Jean-Jaurés.
Does the EU have the capacity and agency to set priorities and make decisions autonomously in its external action? What are the necessary political, institutional and material steps to get there? How can strategic autonomy help the EU to face the challenges within and beyond European borders? Despite the concept becoming more central in EU-affairs circles every day, there is a persistent lack of clarity on what European strategic autonomy actually means. For this reason, the Foundation of European Progressive Studies, in cooperation with the EU Office of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung and the Foundation Jean-Jaurès have undertaken a project to explore what European Strategic Autonomy means in the field of Security & Defence, Trade & Economy, and Digital &Technology.
