European Security Strategy.
“a responsibility to support law enforcement, protection of citizens and safeguarding national and international interests by countering threats and mitigating risks of illegal or threatening activities in the global maritime domain”

• The challenge of being new:– Relationship of EEAS with the Commission, Council and Parliament.– Cultural change – EEAS 20 months old!– Span of commitment (Diplomacy – Development - Defence).
• The ‘Comprehensive’ challenge: – NATO contracts-in comprehensiveness, few levers of state, quick to start.– EU integral comprehensiveness, all levers of state, complex to start. – EU pedigree based on norms of society and nation building not crisis.– Reconciling divergent mandates of stakeholders.
• The challenge of complexity – the Practical & Political challenge– Ambiguity resultant of a perpetual “Wicked Problem” context.– Consensus versus Plurality.– Ambition versus Reality.– Scale & Politics.
• The challenge of the sovereign debt crisis
