Abstract
This paper acknowledges the sui generis nature of the EU and the difference it has made in European foreign policy action due to the fact that the EU is and acts as something which cannot be compared with any existing international subject. In order to determine whether the EU is a global actor we intend to establish inferences based on the various interpretations given by researchers and scholars to the external action of the EU in the 21st century in an essay on the conceptualizations of power and actorness in global politics. In the end, we will analyze the provisions laid down by the European Security Strategy in order to determine how and with what means the EU proposes to address future security challenges in Europe and at global level and to what extent it has managed to fulll those objectives and respond to the expectations it projected.
