“The book shows why it was possible to agree such a document and build support for the implementation of some if its aims. It makes a stimulating read not just for EU foreign policy pundits, but also for those with an interest in how strategy is made. As a well-informed, wide-ranging and often frank assessment from behind the scenes of European strategy-making, it is a short but very rewarding read.” (Christoph Meyer, The RUSI Journal, Vol. 162 (6), January, 2018)
