The driving force of that rise was the EU Global Strategy, which identified resilience as a major foreign policy goal of EU foreign policy. The concept itself is mentioned over 30 times in the EU Global Strategy, which is quite extraordinary. The term is a response to Europe’s self-perception of its changing place in global and regional security. And that is not a change for the better. If the EU’s Security Strategy of 2003 was fundamentally optimistic about the EU itself, and its ability to have a positive impact on world affairs, the EU Global Strategy of 2016 is not. There is almost a paradox in that. While the title of the guiding document of EU foreign policy in 2003 was a ‘security strategy’, suggesting a narrow and somewhat defensive concern with security, the 2016 framework document was called a ‘global strategy’—something that suggests a much wider geographic and policy scope and ambition. The name itself of the 2016 document suggests that it is less concerned with security and thus more optimistic in outlook. But on substance the opposite is true. Titles aside, the 2003 Security Strategy was more optimistic about EU power, and set a higher bar for the then foreign policy ambitions than the 2016 Global Strategy. Such change in the EU foreign policy ambitions seems to be a response to how problems outside the EU not only tend to continue their course in defiance of EU actions and desires but also show the extent to which the EU itself is affected by them. As the EU’s impact on the prevention or cessation of wars in its neighbourhood has been modest at best, the resilience agenda suggests a shift in the EU objectives from a desire to drive and shape positive transformations in the world (while preventing, managing or even solving conflicts) to a much less ambitious damage limitation agenda, called ‘resilience’. It is not that the other, less ambitious goals are not ritualistically reiterated by the EU and its foreign policy machinery in recent years, but the prominence of resilience as the single most visible of EU foreign policy goals, at the expense of other goals, suggests this shift to a less ambitious and less self-confident EU. The term ‘resilience’ is not new. The concept of resilience has been a conceptual tool and a practical goal in other areas of human activity, such as mining and medicine. But in recent years it has been imported first into European foreign policy debates, and then into academic studies on EU foreign policy, thus inserting itself into the wider fields of International Relations and Political Science. However, as is often the case with popular terms, it often means different things to different people. Its exact meaning can vary from one policy conversation to another, and can acquire new meanings over time. So, to a large extent, despite frequent references to it, the concept of resilience is remarkably under-researched in the field of political science. The process of understanding and thinking through the theoretical and practical implications of the term for academic debates is only at the beginning. And the list of questions about what resilience actually means when applied to various EU policy domains is almost endless. What does it mean for the European Union itself? Should the EU be concerned with its own resilience, or only with resilience of its foreign policy capacity? And how should one analyse and then frame the EU’s concern with resilience in various policy domains—from environmental catastrophes to hostile cyber activities or organised crime? This book is an ambitious attempt to expand our understanding of resilience in the field of European Studies. It is one of the first and most ambitious attempts at a profound, systematic and interdisciplinary level to understand and explain what resilience is for the EU as a Union and for its foreign policy, in particular. The book does so through a fascinating and enriching combination of theoretical reflections and case studies of foreign and domestic fields of EU policy action, and thus situates itself at the cutting edge of research in this field of study Kategória publikačnej činnosti FAI Číslo archívnej kópie 46857 Katal.org.
