Recently, I have come across an interesting book’s title containing three keywords “EU”, “Law” and “Geopolitics”. Especially in 2022, the European Union foreign and security policies went through real world tests related to law and geopolitics. On this edition of “IR thinker”, I am curious about what can we learn about the EU foreign and security policies in those frameworks, does the EU have a strong legal framework supporting her foreign policy in today’s geopolitical dynamics?
