Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic, rough relationships between the most important
geopolitical actors (the USA and China), the constant shifts of terrorist phenomenon, and
the zombification of economy – all of these are early signals that the global security
system is in great distress. The UN seems to lose the compass in this dynamics, failing to
provide informed and strong answers to the crisis, giving up control to smaller, regional
or specialised, and more practical institutions. In this context, it seems that the EU gets a
new opportunity to shape the global security environment, as it has all the instruments
necessary to tackle it.
Keywords: EU, strategic autonomy, crisis management, multilateralism.
