TheGlobal strategy for the foreign and security policy of the European Union, for short theEuropean Union Global Strategy (EUGS), is the updated doctrine of theEuropean Union to improve the effectiveness of thedefence and security of the Union and itsmembers states, the protection of civilians, cooperation between the member states' armed forces, management of immigration, crises etc. Adopted on 28 June 2016,[citation needed] it replaces theEuropean Security Strategy of 2003.
The EUGS is complemented by a document titledImplementation Plan on Security and Defense (IPSD).[citation needed] The concept ofstrategic autonomy forms part of the European Union Global Strategy. It refers to the ability of the European Union to defend Europe and act militarily in its neighborhood without so much reliance on the United States.[1] The idea behind strategic autonomy in so far as it informs the European Global Strategy is that Europeans collectively have the capability and the will to stand up for themselves from a security and defense perspective.[2][better source needed]
