The post-Cold War period is coming to an end. After a decade of foreign policy integration Europe faces multipolarity internally divided and externally weak. Toje argues that due to the lack of a workable decision-making mechanism the EU is destined to play the limited but distinct role of a small power in global politics. ASLE TOJE is a Research Fellow at the Norwegian Nobel Institute, Norway. He is the author of 'America, the EU and Strategic Culture' (2008) and editor of 'Neoclassical Realism in Europe' (2009).
