Global Europe offers highly readable publications that seek to explain complex issues in an easy-to-understand manner. It uses a variety of formats to stimulate the much needed debate on different policy/security challenges facing Europe. At one end of the spectrum, there are op-eds, commentaries and policy briefs, as well as interviews with ‘movers and shakers’ of European and world politics on different EU-related political, economic, defense-security and diplomatic issues. At the other end, there is EU External Affairs Review, an academic and policy-oriented, international online refereed journal, which is published bi-annually in collaboration with the Association for International Affairs (AMO). Global Europe is committed to present a diversity of voices and ideas both from within and outside of Europe – that could often be in strong disagreement with one another – with the aim of achieving a balanced dialogue between different stakeholders and constituencies. It aspires at meeting the needs of both the academic community and the practitioners/policy-makers in international relations, as well as informed citizens and stakeholders within civil society, media, business and government.
