- Summary:
- While many people dismiss the European Union as little more than a regional political project, this book reveals its quietly growing global influence. Mai'a K. Davis Cross argues that despite often flying under the radar, long-standing European global strategies have permeated the very fabric of the international system, upholding strong norms of stability, liberalism, and social consciousness from the deep sea to outer space. For the EU, grand strategy is not so much about pursuing a position at the top of the international hierarchy, but about shaping the international environment itself. This book offers a globe-spanning, planetary perspective on how and why the European Union has deeply mattered to world order in the 21st century.
