The document distinguishes ‘global challenges’ on the one hand, from ‘key threats’ on the other. The document sketches the contours of a threatening, or at least unstable and dangerous, international environment. The challenging environment partially overlaps with the threats, notably regarding ‘failed states and organized crime’ (p. 4). A Secure Europe mentions five different threats. First, terrorism ‘poses a growing strategic threat to the whole Europe’ (p. 3). A new brand of terrorism seems less constrained than older types of terrorist organizations.
In June 2003, 70 per cent of Europeans thought that the EU ‘should become a superpower like the United States’ (Eichenberg 2003: 627–59; Eurobarometer 2004: 22–5; Reynié, 2004: 105–8). The Dutch and French ‘no’ to the referendums on the European constitution in 2005 showed, however, the persistence of deep disagreements, even if Europe’s international role had not been the most salient issue during the referendum campaigns. A better understanding of Europe’s grand strategy is therefore significant both internally and externally.

As a consequence, A Secure Europe is based on an activist conception of security.
