The thesis will focus on the following general research question: Is European Strategic
Autonomy (ESA) a suitable and complementary concept to restructure the security
architecture of the EU? In this context, does PESCO have the potential to contribute to real
strategic autonomy in the framework of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP)?
The European Union faced numerous challenges in the past that revealed its limited ability to
respond appropriately to foreign policy threats. Particularly the Crimea crisis (2014), and the
refugee crisis (2015) have disclosed the institutional weaknesses and the different interests
within the EU member states that paralyzed the EU’s capacity to act efficiently: Additionally,
the Brexit and the Euroscepticism of the Trump Administration who has questioned the
usefulness of NATO have brought new life to considerations and discussions of how EU’s
prospective security architecture should look like. In this context, the term “European
Strategic Autonomy” has been revived in scientific papers and political debates without
being clearly defined. In fact, it seems that Strategic Autonomy and its (deliberate) vague
interpretation causes confusion and irritation not only among the EU member states but also
outside the EU, particularly in the US.
However, several steps towards “European Strategic Autonomy” have been already
undertaken” in the framework of the CFSP. Scholars and political experts agree that more
cohesion and flexibility is indispensable to avoid the European Union being paralyzed in
future global affairs. With PESCO, established in late 2017, the EU has already initiated
several projects where participation is voluntary. But at the same time, it may foster a Europe
consisting of different blocks (multi-speed Europe), which raises the peril of a Europe being

torn away. In this context, the dynamic of differentiated integration and the level of ambition
in the area of security and defense policy (PESCO) will be analyzed based on the EU Global
Strategy (EUGS) published in 2016. Three case studies will focus on German, French and
Czech approaches to European Strategic Autonomy. The foundation of sources will be EU
and government documents and policy papers from institutions specialized on European
affairs as well as academic literature, expert interviews and analysis, political magazines
(such as Spiegel) and media outlets (such as www.tagessschau.de). The methodology will include a (comparative) case study
analysis, where the political discourse, developments and implementation measures will be
subject to critical scrutiny.
