This book examines European strategic culture at both national and supranational level.
Focusing on elite perceptions extracted from official discourses, it empirically analyses how the European Union and its member states look at the important dimensions and their perceptual changes in the foreign security and defence realm and explores their convergence/divergence. It also discusses the prospects for the emergence of a European strategic culture in the context of the Russia–Ukraine war, concluding that whilst it has given a boost to Europe’s thinking and approach with respect to security and defence which may lead to further integration, there had been a convergence in strategic culture between member states themselves and the EU, even before the war.
This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European foreign, security and defence policy, and more broadly to European studies, international relations, security studies and foreign policy.
Xue Mi is Lecturer at the Center for European Studies, School of Political Science and Public Administration, Shandong University, China.
