A key reference in the text:

Many references - many commitments - but expert comments so far to the overall text point to a shift in emphasis from values to interests. Judge for yourself:

Effective multilateralism was a key feature of the 2003 Security Strategy. How does this paradigm look in the 2016 #EUGlobalstrategy?

Given the fact that the new strategy covers 60 pages this has in fact allowed a very thorough overview of key vectors of multilateral processes
