European Foreign Relations EUROFOR

The EUs emergence as a global actor has indeed in many respects

more and more incorporate features of the traditional great
power. New global actors (governmental, non-governmental,
regional economic blocks, transnational agencies, others) are
positioning themselves in all spheres of influence and the EU
finds itself by default and by necessity to crystallize its own
foreign relations policy.
