To rule the waves: Why a maritime geostrategy is needed to sustain European Union. Egmont Security Policy Brief No. 6, January 2010

摘要

In Egmont Paper No. 33 'The Value of Power, the Power of Values: A Call for an EU Grand Strategy', edited by Sven Biscop, Egmont calls for an EU Grand Strategy completing the European Security Strategy by identifying EU interests and setting concrete objectives. A proactive EU, acting as a true global power, must result. Some of Europe's leading strategic thinkers react to Egmont's proposals in its series of Security Policy Briefs. In this paper of the Grand Strategy Project series, young British scholar James Rogers argues that we Europeans must begin to focus more on maritime geostrategy.
