Abstract: A lack of political initiative and strategic orientation keeps Europe from securing its position in the world. Meaningful coordination will not come from institutional tinkering but from political vision and will. This lack of political cohesion on European foreign policies can only truly change if the forerunners of European foreign and security policy - Germany, France and the United Kingdom - align their global interests. A realistic alternative to leadership by the EU-3 is not a Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) of the EU-27. Instead, the alternative would be unilateralism in Europe's foreign and security policy
