EU GLOBAL STRATEGY – AN UPGRADE OR NEW OS?
EU GLOBAL STRATEGY – AN UPGRADE OR NEW OS?

Summary/Abstract: This article examines European Union Global Strategy (EUGS) in regard to European Security Strategy (ESS) from 2003. Its main focus is to answer the question: is the EUGS just the upgrade of the EES or is it a standalone document. Although both documents are named strategies, it has been argued that the ESS doesn't meet the criteria to justify its title. Concentrating on a mode of discourse of the strategies, article looks at theirs similarities and differences, as well as examines how their structures fall within given definition for the strategy. This article argues that the ESS is a document in contradiction with its name, and that the European Union received its real security strategy just with the EUGS.
